Coefficient of Longitudinal Friction given Breaking Distance Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Design Coefficient of Friction = (Speed of Slow moving vehicle^2)/(2*[g]*Breaking Distance)
f = (V_b^2)/(2*[g]*BD)
This formula uses 1 Constants, 3 Variables

Constants Used

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

Variables Used

Design Coefficient of Friction - Design Coefficient of Friction is a dimensionless number that is defined as the ratio between friction force and normal force.
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.
Breaking Distance - (Measured in Meter) - Breaking distance is defined as the distance traveled after applying brake till the vehicle stops.

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
Breaking Distance: 40 Meter --> 40 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

f = (V_b^2)/(2*[g]*BD) --> (11.11^2)/(2*[g]*40)

Evaluating ... ...

f = 0.157332141964891

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.157332141964891 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.157332141964891 ≈ 0.157332 <-- Design Coefficient of Friction
