Train A is traveling at a constant speed VA = 36 mi/hr while car B travels in a straight line along the road as shown at a constant speed
VB. A conductor C in the train begins to walk to the rear of the train car at a constant speed of VC/A = 6 ft/sec relative to the train. If the
conductor perceives car B to move directly westward at VB/C = 24 ft/sec, how fast is the car traveling?
