We are given that,

We need to find
when 
The equation that relates x and
can be written as,


Differentiating each side with respect to t, we get,



Replacing the value of the velocity


The value of
could be found if we know the length of the beam. With this value the equation can be approximated to the relationship between the sides of the triangle that is being formed in order to obtain the numerical value. If this relation is known for the value of x = 6ft, the mathematical relation is obtained. I will add a numerical example (although the answer would end in the previous point) If the length of the beam was 10, then we would have to



Search light is rotating at a rate of 0.96rad/s
In mathematics, a percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100.
B. only its velocity should change
When trying to describe how an object falls, Newton found that the speed of the object increased in every split second and no mathematics currently used to describe the object at any moment in time.
