Question: Problem 3 [ 4 0 pts ] Given a rectangular box A - B - C - D - E - F - G -

Problem 3[40 pts]
Given a rectangular box A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H with the orthogonal triad hat(x),hat(y),hat(z) defined
as shown in the figure below. Point Q is the center point of the top face C-D-H-G.
The lengths of sides AB,BC,BF are 40,20,10, respectively.
A vector ?bar(U)(t) lies along the direction ?bar(AQ) as shown in the figure. The tail of
the vector ?bar(U)(t) is fixed at A but the head of the vector is free to move along the
line AQ. The length of the vector ?bar(U)(t) grows over time according to |)/(b|=t+1
for time t0. Once the length of vector J(t) reaches the length of AQ, it stops
growing any further and remains a constant vector. Let ?bar(V) be a vector of magnitude
1 lying in the hat(x)-hat(z) plane as shown in the figure. The angle between ?bar(V) and hat(z) is 30.
(i) Find the time, t**, at which the vector ?bar(U)(t) reaches the top face.
(ii) Find ?bar(U)(t) for tt**.
(iii) Compute ?bar(U)(t)bar(V) for tt**
