In a road test for measuring skid resistance using a skid resistance equipment,
indicates a certain time of brake application and the braking distance indicated by
the skid mark is 41.6 m. before the vehicle was brought to stop. What is the
average skid resistance of the surface when the velocity of the car when the brakes
were applied is equal to 40kph. The road is on a level surface.
