Solution:

A vehicle is moving on a road of grade + 4% at a speed of 20 m/s. Consider the coefficient of friction as 0.46 and acceleration due to gravity as 10 m/s2. On applying brakes to reach a speed of 10 m/s, the required braking distance (in m, round off to nearest integer) along the horizontal, is_____.

Solution:

A road in a hilly terrain is to be laid at a gradient of 4.5%. A horizontal curve of radius 100 m is laid at a location on this road. Gradient needs to be eased due to combination of curved horizontal and vertical profiles of the road. As per IRC, the compensated gradient (in%, round off to one decimal place), is ______.

Solution:
