A triathlete on the swimming leg of a triathlon is 120.0 m from the shore (a). The triathlete's bike is 60.0 m from the shore on the land (b). The component of her distance from the bicycle along the shore line, (x + y in the diagram), is 154.8 m. Triathlete a shoreline y Water Land If the triathlete's running speed is 7.85 m/s and swimming speed is 1.413 m/s, calculate the value of x so that the triathlete reaches her bike in the least amount of time. 107.4 m Snell's Law is helpful here.
