Question

Three digital clocks AB, and C run at different rates and do not have simultaneous readings of zero. The figure shows simultaneous readings on pairs of clocks for four occasions. (At the earliest occasion, for example, Breads 25.0 s and C reads 92.0 s.) If two events are 500 s apart on clock A, how far apart are they on (a) clock B and (b) clock C(c) When clock A reads 380 s, what does clock B read? (d) When clock C reads 10 s, what does clock B read? (Assume negative readings for pre-zero times.)
