A petrol car is parked a = 50 feet from a long warehouse (see the figure below). The revolving light on top of the car turns at a rate of 30 revolutions per minute. How fast is the light beam moving along the wall when the beam makes an angle of e = 60° with the perpendicular %3D from the light to the wall.
