A 5 m ladder leans against a wall. The bottom of the ladder is 1.3 m from the wall at time t = 0 sec and slides away from the wall at a rate of 0.6 m/s. Find the velocity of the top of the ladder at time t = 1 (take the direction upwards as positive). (Use decimal notation. Give your answer to three decimal places.)
