A bird is resting on a point P at a height of 8 m above the Mean Sea Level (MSL). Upon hearing a loud noise, the bird flies parallel to the ground surface and reaches a point Q which is located at a height of 3 m above MSL. The ground surface has a falling gradient of 1 in 2. Ignoring the effects of curvature and refraction, the horizontal distance (in meters) between points P and Q is _______________ (in integer).

A motorist traveling at 100 km/h on a highway needs to take the next exit, which has a
speed limit of 50 km/h. The section of the roadway before the ramp entry has a downgrade
of 3% and coefficient of friction ( f ) is 0.35. In order to enter the ramp at the maximum
allowable speed limit, the braking distance (expressed in m) from the exit ramp is ______
