Total Time of Travel in Overtaking Sight distance Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Time taken for Overtaking Operation = sqrt(4*Minimum Spacing between Vehicles during Overtaking/Acceleration)
T = sqrt(4*s/a)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Time taken for Overtaking Operation - (Measured in Second) - Time taken for Overtaking Operation is the time taken by fast moving vehicle to overtake the slow moving vehicle.
Minimum Spacing between Vehicles during Overtaking - (Measured in Meter) - Minimum Spacing between Vehicles during Overtaking is the minimum distance between the two vehicles required at the time of overtaking.
Acceleration - (Measured in Meter per Square Second) - Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity to the change in time.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Minimum Spacing between Vehicles during Overtaking: 13.7 Meter --> 13.7 Meter No Conversion Required
Acceleration: 0.9 Meter per Square Second --> 0.9 Meter per Square Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

T = sqrt(4*s/a) --> sqrt(4*13.7/0.9)

Evaluating ... ...

T = 7.80313327381308

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

7.80313327381308 Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

7.80313327381308 ≈ 7.803133 Second <-- Time taken for Overtaking Operation

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
