6 (c) A ship A travels in the north making an angle of 45? to the West with a velocity of 18 km/hr and ship B travels in the East with a velocity of 9 km/hr. Find the relative velocity of B w.r.t. ship A.(4 marks)
6 (d) A body of mass 25 kg resting on a horizontal table is connected by string passing over a smooth pulley at the edge of the table to another body of mass 3.75 kg and hanging vertically as shown. Initially, the friction between the mass A and the table is just sufficient to prevent the motion. If an additional 1.25 kg is added to the 3.75 kg mass, find the acceleration of the masses.
