. Question 4 Let pl, ) denote the density of traffic (x is the distance along a road, and t is time), and suppose that traffic with density p moves with speed up). (i) Derive a conservation law for p. What is the density wave speed? (ii) By applying a conservation law across a shock (1.c., a region where the solution is discontinuous), derive the expression for the speed of a shock. (iii) If (p) = umas (1 show that the speed of a shock is dependent on the average of the densities on either side of the shock Pm (d) Use this to find the solution for p that corresponds to a traffic light turning red in the middle of an infinite line of traffic of density po
