A boat is pulled into a dock by means of a rope attached to a pulley on the dock (see the accompanying figure). The rope is attached to the bow of the boat at a point 10 ft below the pulley. If the rope is pulled through the pulley at a rate of 20 ft/min, at what rate will the boat be approaching the dock when 150 ft of rope is out? NOTE: Enter the exact answer. The boat is approaching the dock at the rate of= ft/min.

The boat is pulled into the dock by means of a rope attached to a pulley on the dock (see the accompanying figure). The rope is attached to the bow of the boat at a point 10 ft below the pulley. If the rope is pulled through the pulley at a rate of 20 ft per minute, at what rate will the boat be approaching the dock when 125 ft of rope is out? NOTE: Enter the exact answer.
