To protect his food from hungry bears, a boy scout raises his food pack with a rope that is thrown over a tree limb at a height h above his hands. He walks away from the vertical rope with a constant velocity Vboy while holding the free end of the rope in his hands.
Determine the speed of the food pack in terms of the given quantities, which are the distance he has walked away from the vertical rope, the height of the branch, and Vboy.
Determine the acceleration of the food pack in terms of the known quantities.
