In a boat race, boat A is leading boat B by 68.2m and both boats are travelling at a constant speed of 154.2 kph. At t=0, the boats accelerate at constant rates. Knowing that when B passes A, t=8s and boat A is moving at 216.7 kph, determine the velocity (m/s) of B relative to A at the time when B passes A. Round off only on the final answer expressed in 3 decimal places.
