A particle moves in a straight line with a constant acceleration of 1.25 m/s2for 6s, zero acceleration for the next 5s, and a constant deceleration of 0.91 m/s2for 4s. Knowing that the particle starts from the origin and that its velocity is 17.12 m/s during the zero acceleration time interval. Determine the distance (in meters) traveled by  the particle after 15 seconds. Round off your final answer to three decimal places.
