Question

Using appropriate scale, design a 1000 metres, 6 lane racing track, assuming that straight lines of rectangle are 300 metres each, and that each lane is 2 metres in width. Calculate the distance covered by athlete in the innermost lane? How will you place the staggers?

Answer 1

The Distance between Each Staggers is 8 Meter

Step-by-step explanation:

As shown in the Figure attached,  

The Line Yellow FF' is the Finishing Line in the Race Track.

Apart from that the arrows shows the direction of running/staggers in the track.

• The Distance between each of the staggers is 8 meters (Width is 2 meters).

The reason for doing this is to avoid the confusion of extra running.  

• If any racer say $R_1$ running in track 1 (100 meters) then the second racer $R_2$ will need to travel  8 meters extra, totaling 1008 meters and further for rest all too.

• This is happening since we've kept the track width as 2 meters, which makes in increment in the distance increment of 4 times for every next racer.

i.e.                    (2 meters $\times$ 4 = 8m)

Answer 2

The distance covered by athlete in the innermost lane is 8m, Staggers should be placed in a line.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose each racer track is of 8m

If each  lane of the staggers in the Width is 2 meters.

Then any racer say  running in track 1 which can be of 1000 meters, then the second athlete will need to travel  8 meters extra, which is  1008 meters and and similarly for other athlete

This happened because of the width of track as 2 meters, which makes in increment in the distance of 4 times for every next racer.

i.e. 2 meters X 4 = 8m
