A boat is pulled into a dock by a rope attached to the bow of the boat and passing through a pulley on the dock that is 1 m higher than the bow of the boat. If the rope is pulled in at a rate of 1.5 m/s, how fast is the boat approaching the dock when it is 10 m from the dock?

A boat is pulled into a dock by a rope attached to the bow of the boat and passing through a pulley on the dock that is 1 $\mathrm{m}$ higher than the bow of the boat. If the rope is pulled in at a rate of $1 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s},$ how fast is the boat approaching the dock when it is 8 $\mathrm{m}$ from tho dock?
