A driver is traveling 68 mi/h on a road with a -3% grade. There is a stalled car on the road 1000 ft ahead of the driver. The driver's vehicle has a braking efficiency of 90% and anti-lock brakes. The road is in good, dry conditions until 160 ft before the stalled car where it is wet and stays wet for the remaining length. What is the minimum distance from the stalled car at which the driver could apply the brakes and still stop before hitting it? Assume coefficient of rolling resistance of 0.013.
