The road is in good condition and is initially dry but it


A driver is traveling 68 mi/h on a road with a -3% grade. There is a stalled car on the road 1000ft ahead of the driver, The driver's vehicle has a braking efficiency of 90% and it has antilock brakes. The road is in good condition and is initially dry, but it becomes wet 160 ft before the stalled car (and stays wet until the car is reached). What is the minimum distance from the stalled car at which the driver could apply the brakes and still stop before hitting it? (Assume theoretical stopping distance, ignore air resistance, and let frl= 0.013)
