Given: The three spans of the Brooklyn Bridge total approximately 3,456 ft. A jogger runs on the bridge at 3.0 meters per second (m/s). Req'd: What is the length of the three spans in kilometers (km)? |
|
|
Solution: Refering to Table 4, 1 ft = 0.3048 m, therefore the length of the bridge is: L = 3465 ft * 0.3048 m/ft = 1053 m = 1.053 km. |
