Question:

Along a straight road through town, there are three speed-limit signs. They occur in the following order: 55, 35, and 25 mi/h, with the 35-mi/h sign located midway between the other two. Obeying these speed limits, the smallest possible time tA that a driver can spend on this part of the road is to travel between the first and second signs at 55 mi/h and between the second and third signs at 35 mi/h. More realistically, a driver could slow down from 55 to 35 mi/h with a constant deceleration and then do a similar thing from 35 to 25 mi/h. This alternative requires a time tB. Find the ratio tB/tA?
