Total Reaction Time given Stopping Sight Distance Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Break Reaction Time = (Stopping Sight Distance-(Speed of Slow moving vehicle^2)/(2*[g]*Design Coefficient of Friction))/Speed of Slow moving vehicle
t = (SSD-(V_b^2)/(2*[g]*f))/V_b
This formula uses 1 Constants, 4 Variables

Constants Used

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

Variables Used

Break Reaction Time - (Measured in Second) - Break Reaction Time is defined as time taken by the driver to apply the break.
Stopping Sight Distance - (Measured in Meter) - Stopping Sight Distance is defined as distance provided on the road before a sharp turn.
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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Stopping Sight Distance: 160 Meter --> 160 Meter No Conversion Required
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

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

t = (SSD-(V_b^2)/(2*[g]*f))/V_b --> (160-(11.11^2)/(2*[g]*0.15))/11.11

Evaluating ... ...

t = 10.6250911019528

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

10.6250911019528 Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

10.6250911019528 ≈ 10.62509 Second <-- Break Reaction Time
