Due to a large truck entering on the road it creates congestion on the road due to which, traffic density increases from 45% to 75% of jam density. Calculate the speed of the shock wave which will develop due to the congestion formed. Given that: Speed of vehicles moving on same road is 50 kmph and jam density is 125 veh/km.
