Cars A and B are traveling around the circular race track. At the instant shown, A has a speed of 60 ft/s and is increasing its speed at the rate of 15 ft/s? untilit travels fora distance of 100r ft, after which it maintains a constant speed. Car B has a speed of 120 ft/s andis decreasing its speed at 15 ft/s? until it travels a distance of 65m ft, after which it maintains a constant speed. Determine the time when they come side by side. Referring to Fig. a, when cars A and B are side by side, the relation between their angular displacements is 6, = On a ‘The constant speed achieved by cars A and B can be determined from.
