Braking Distance on Inclined Surface Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Breaking Distance = (Speed of Slow moving vehicle^2)/(2*[g]*Design Coefficient of Friction+0.01*Difference in Elevation)
BD = (V_b^2)/(2*[g]*f+0.01*ΔH)
This formula uses 1 Constants, 4 Variables

Constants Used

[g] - Gravitational acceleration on Earth Value Taken As 9.80665

Variables Used

Breaking Distance - (Measured in Meter) - Breaking distance is defined as the distance traveled after applying brake till the vehicle stops.
Speed of Slow moving vehicle - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Speed of Slow moving vehicle is the speed of vehicle which has to be overtaken.
Design Coefficient of Friction - Design Coefficient of Friction is a dimensionless number that is defined as the ratio between friction force and normal force.
Difference in Elevation - (Measured in Meter) - Difference in elevation at ends of measured length.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Speed of Slow moving vehicle: 11.11 Meter per Second --> 11.11 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Design Coefficient of Friction: 0.15 --> No Conversion Required
Difference in Elevation: 15 Meter --> 15 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

BD = (V_b^2)/(2*[g]*f+0.01*ΔH) --> (11.11^2)/(2*[g]*0.15+0.01*15)

Evaluating ... ...

BD = 39.9198899092657

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

39.9198899092657 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

39.9198899092657 ≈ 39.91989 Meter <-- Breaking Distance
