A boat is pulled into a dock by a rope attached to the bow of the boat and passing through a pulley on the dock that is 1 m higher than the bow of the boat. If the rope is pulled in at a rate of 1 m/s, how fast is the boat approaching the dock when it is 9 m from the dock? (Round your answe

Respuesta :

Answer:

The boat is approaching at 0.9938 m/s to the dock when it is 9 m from the dock.

Explanation:

α=tan⁻¹(1 m / 9 m)

α= 6.34º

V= 1m/s

Vx = V * cos (6.34º)

Vx= 0.9938 m/s
