Bearings (Sometimes Referred To As Three-Figure Bearings) Are A Way of Describing and
(As you will see from the solution, the value of D does not participate
in the solution;
so it does not matter even in which linear units we measure D).
Then the speed of the faster track is linear units per second,
while the speed of the slower track is linear units per second.
The condition that the faster car will pass/overtake the slower is that the
faster car will travel the distance
exactly D units longer than the slower track, or
- = D.
After canceling the factor D in both sides this equation takes the form
- = 1.
Simplify and solve for "t". First step is to multiply both sides by 75:
Answer. The faster car will pass/overtake the smaller car in 37.5 seconds.
