A $1700$ kg car moves along a horizontal road at speed v$\mathrm{₀}=17\mathrm{.}9$ m$/$s$.$ The road is wet, so the static friction coefficient between the tires and the road is only s $=0\mathrm{.}168$ and the kinetic friction coefficient is even lower,

k $=0\mathrm{.}1176.$ The acceleration of gravity is $9\mathrm{.}8$ m$/$s$\mathrm{ \; 2}$$.$ What is the shortest possible stopping distance for the car under such conditions? Use g $=9\mathrm{.}8$ m$/$s  ² and neglect the reaction time of the driver.
