The barge weighs 45 000 lb and supports two automobiles A and B, which weigh 4000 lb and 3000 lb, respectively. If the automobiles start from rest and drive towards each other, accelerating at aA = 4 ft/s2 and aB = 8 ft/s2 until they reach a constant speed of 6 ft/s relative to the barge, determine the speed of the barge just before the automobiles collide. How much time does this take? Originally the barge is at rest. Neglect water resistance.
