In a close harness race, horse 2 passes horse 1 at point A, where the two velocities are v2 = 21 ft/s and v1 = 20.4 ft/s. Horse 1 later passes horse 2 at point B and goes on to win the race at point C, 1200 ft from A. The elapsed times from A to C for horse 1 and horse 2 are t1 = 61.5 s and t2 = 62.0 s, respectively. Assuming uniform accelerations for both horses between A and C, determine(a) The distance from A to B,(b) The position of horse 1 relative to horse 2 when horse 1 reaches the finish lineC.
