Answer:
[tex]X=6.67ft/s[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that:
Height of pole [tex]H_p=15[/tex]
Height of man [tex]h_m=6ft[/tex]
Speed of Man [tex]\triangle a =4ft/s[/tex]
Distance from pole [tex]d=35ft[/tex]
Let
Distance from pole to man=a
Distance from man to shadow =b
Therefore
[tex]\frac{a+b}{15}=\frac{b}{6}[/tex]
[tex]6a+6b=15y[/tex]
[tex]2a=3b[/tex]
Generally the equation for change in velocity is mathematically given by
[tex]2(\triangle a)=3(\triangle b )[/tex]
[tex]2*4=3(\triangle b)[/tex]
[tex]\triangle a=\frac{8}{3}[/tex]
Since
The speed of the shadow is given as
[tex]X=\triangle b+\triangle a[/tex]
[tex]X=4+8/3[/tex]
[tex]X=6.67ft/s[/tex]
