A sliding friction buffer-stop is designed to be impacted by both three-coach and five-coach railcar sets, the mass of a single coach is 60 tonnes. The design impact speed is 15 km/hr and the maximum allowable deceleration rate is 2.5 m/s2. The main buffer has five pairs of friction shoes, each pair adsorbing 80 kJ/m. What is the minimum distance between the rear of the sliding bufferstop and the first additional pair of extra friction shoes to ensure that the three-coach railcar does not experience an unacceptably high deceleration rate?
