Problem 13.145 - DEPENDENT MULTI-PART PROBLEM - ASSIGN ALL PARTS NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitte
d, you will be unable to return to this part. A 100-ton tugboat is moving at 6 ft/s with a slack towing cable attached to a 100-ton barge that is at rest. The cable is being unwound from a drum on the tugboat at a constant rate of 5.4 ft/s and that rate is maintained after the cable becomes taut. Problem 13.145.a - Tugboat velocity Neglecting the resistance of the water, determine the velocity of the barge after the cable becomes taut. (You must provide an answer before moving to the next part.) The velocity of the TUGBOAT after the cable becomes taut is ft/s.

Answer:
Explanation:
The motion of the vehicule on a highway curve can be modelled by the following equation of equilibrium:
The maximum speed is:
The speed of water can be split into vertical and horizontal speed components:
Due to the force of gravity, the y component will be parabolic. The x component will be linear:
To find when the water hits the ground 2.5m away, set y= 0 and x = 2.5
