Homework SourseIf two skaters at rest pull on the rope find velocity of ska
If two skaters at rest pull on the rope find velocity of skater A [ft/s] if velocity of skater B is v_B = 2[ft/s]. Weights of skaters are W_A=160 [Ib] and W_B=220 Assume that there is no friction between skates and ice. ![If two skaters at rest pull on the rope find velocity of skater A [ft/s] if velocity of skater B is v_B = 2[ft/s].

Solution
>> As, Weight acts only in vertical direction and there is no friction too.
So, forward motion is carried by pulling in rope only, it does not have any effect of weight
So, Velocity of A is also 2 ft/s , just opposite in direction....
