A car traveling at 45 mph on a poor, wet pavement has a braking efficiency of 87%. The brakes were applied 100 feet before hitting an obstacle in the road. The road is uphill for 40 feet and then is level for the remainder of the way. The car had a maximum coefficient of road adhesion in the sloped portion of the poor, wet roadway and but as soon as it started going on the level portion its coefficient of road adhesion reduced to 0.3. Assuming that the car struck the obstacle at 30 mph, what was the grade of the hill? Assume practical stopping distance equation applies.
