Question: Two boats leave the pier P at the same time and travel in the directions shown. If v A = 40 ft s and v

Two boats leave the pier P at the same time and travel in the directions shown. If vA = 40 ft s and vB = 30 ft/s, determine the magnitude of the velocity of boat A relative to boat B. How long after leaving the pier will the boats be 1500 ft apart?y 30 P VA = 40 ft/s 45 VB = 30 ft/s

y 30 P VA = 40 ft/s 45 VB = 30 ft/s B -X
