3. Answer the following questionsa) Derive an equation to estimate speed of shockwave.b) On a one-way freeway segment with a flow of 1000 veh/h and density 100veh/mile, a fully loaded truck enters the stream, reducing the flow to 500 veh/h,and moves for 5 miles at a speed of 20 mph before exiting. The vehicles behindthe trucks cannot overtake the truck and are forced to go behind the truck with thespeed of the truck at jam density. Determine how many passenger cars will be inthe platoon formed due to the truck's entry by the time the truck leaves thefreeway.Given: Speed of the stream after the truck's departure= 80 miles/h, Jam Density =200 veh/mile.
