Problem2) (10 points) A car is traveling 50 mi/h when the driver applies the brakes. The car is traveling on good wet pavement and is going down a 3% grade. The antilock braking system works intermittently during the stop. When the antilock brakes system is functioning, the braking efficiency is 100%. When the antilock system is not functioning the wheels lock and the braking efficiency is 70%. The antilock braking system turns off/on every 60 ft while the brakes are being applied (it is on for the first 60 ft of the stop, off for the second 60 ft, on for the third 60 ft of the stop, and so on). Under these conditions, what is the total distance needed for the car to stop after the brakes are applied? (Assume theoretical stopping distance, ignore aerodynamic resistance, and let f = 0.011.)
