Question 1196408: Find the acceleration of the specified object. (Hint: Recall that if a variable is changing at a constant rate, its acceleration is zero.)
A boat is pulled into a dock by means of a winch 24 feet above the deck of the boat (see figure). The winch pulls in rope at a rate of 5 feet per second. Find the acceleration (in ft/sec2) of the boat when there is a total of 25 feet of rope out. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

First, there is no figure in the post, although it was declared.

Second, since the the rate is constant, the acceleration is zero.


The hint in the post clearly explain it, so why ask
about the subject again, while it is just explained ?
