Q.

A semi-cylindrical groove of radius r=20 cm is made on a horizontal floor. An ant wants to cross the groove. A boy decides to help the ant making a bridge consisting of straight wire segments. But all the wires available are of length l=32cm, so the boy rigidly connects two wires at right angle and places the bridge in the groove as shown in the figure. If the ant can crawl up a wire segment at speed υ=0.5cm/s and down a wire segment at speed 2υ, in what time in seconds can the ant cross the groove with the help of this bridge?. The left part of the bridge is just inside the groove.
