Determine the space mean speed for the data given in Problem 6-3 using Equation 6.5. Compare your answer with that obtained in Problem 6-3 for the space mean speed and discuss the results.

What will be an ideal response?


Equation 6.5 presents the following relationship:



First, the individual vehicle speeds must be converted to units of km/h and then

averaged to determine time mean speed, which is 64.4 km/h. Using Eq. 6.5,



The value for space mean speed found in Problem 6-3 is 38.7 mi/h, which is equal

to 62.3 km/h. Equation 6.5 predicted a value of 63.0 km/h, 0.7 km/h higher than

the space mean speed calculated directly from the data. This difference is

insignificant for most purposes.
