Two semi-trailers are traveling down a 5.5% grade at 40 mph. on a two- lave highway in the same lave. Truck A has new tires. Truck B3 has worn tires. The roadway is paved with Portland cement concrete. Driver A suddenly slams on the brakes to make a panik stop. Assume it takes driver 3 1,5 ser, to react to Driver A. Friction fartors for new tires = 0.76; friction factor for worn times = 0,33, what is the new distance between trucks A and B?
