Chapter 11.4, Problem 11.132P
As part of a department store display, a model train D runs on a slight incline between the store’s up and down escalators. When the train and shoppers pass point A, the train appears to a shopper on the up escalator B to move downward at an angle of 22° with the horizontal, and to a shopper on the down escalator C to move upward at an angle of 23° with the horizontal and to travel to the left. Knowing that the speed of the escalators is 3 ft/s, determine the speed and the direction of the train.

6 Two cars A and B travelling at constant speeds are in the positions shown in Figure Q.6 at time t = 0. The velocity of A is 40 km/h and that of B is 60 km/h. Determine:(i) The velocity of A relative to B and the magnitude and direction of the velocity vector.(ii) The position vector of A relative to B as a function of time.
The distance y = 1.5 m. Find the upward velocity of A if the downward velocity of B is 3.4 m/s. Neglect the diameters of the pulleys.

3. From approximately what floor of a building must a car be dropped from an at-rest position so
that it reaches a speed of 80.7 ft/s (55 mi/h) when it hits the ground? Each floor is 12 ft higher
than the one below it. (Note: You may want to remember this when traveling 55 mi/h)
