Q.

Two fixed points  A and  B  are 20 metres apart. At time  t=0, the distance between a third point C and A is 20 metres and the distance between C and B is 10 metres. The component of velocity of point  C  along both CA and CB at any instant is 5m/s. Then the distance between  A  and  C  at the instant all the three points are collinear will be

Detailed Solution

The length of side CA at any time t is = 20 – 5 t

The length of side CB at any time t is = 10 – 5 t

At the instant A,B and C are collision 

(20 – 5 t) + (10 – 5 t) = 20. 

Solving we get t = 1. 

Therefore length of CA at t = 1 is 20 – 5 = 15.
