Actually its from the direct values given in the books (for 20kmph = 20).
So as (25=25) (30=30) (40=45) (50=60) (60=80) (80=120) & (100=180).

SSD = 0.27vt + v.v/254(f +-g/100).

Where t = 2.5.
f = b/n 0.43 and 0.4 interpolate.

So to answer the question in meter we must use this equation.

Lag distance = vt.
V = m/ s.
T = sec.

What is the lag distance?

Dinesh said:   1 decade ago
SSD = lag distance+braking distance.

= v.t + v^2/2gf.

= 22.22*2.5 + (22.2)^2/(2*9.81*0.35).

= 126.5 (near to 120) So answer is (a)120m.

Where v is in m/s and t = reaction time(2.5sec acc. to IRC).

f is longitudinal coefficient of friction.
