If block A of the pulley system is moving downward at 6 ft/s while block C is moving down at 18 ft/s, determine the relative velocity of block B with respect to C.
The speedboat B is cruising to the north at 78 mi/hr when it encounters an eastward current of speed vC = 11 mi/hr but does not change its heading (relative to the water). Determine the subsequent velocity of the boat relative to the wind and express your result as a magnitude vrel and compass direction θ measured clockwise from north. The current affects the motion of the boat; the southwesterly wind of speed vW = 25 mi/hr does not.
Determine an expression for the velocity vA of the cart A down the incline in terms of the upward velocity vB of cylinder B. If h = 1.50 m, x = 4.30 m, and vB = 2.72 m/s, what is vA?
