Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is not complete, what are the coordinates of point Q and R. But I would show how to solve this.
The location of a point O(x, y) which divides line segment AB in the ratio a:b with point A at (
) and B(
) is given by the formula:

If point Q is at (
) and S at (
) and R(x, y) divides QS in the ratio QR to RS is 3:5, The coordinates of R is:

Let us assume Q(−9,4) and S(7,−4)

Because of the vertical angles theorem, BAC becomes 50°. And angle B is 180-(50+30)=100.
If all 3 triangles are similar, the angles of triangle EFG are 30°, 50°, 100°
For this case, the first thing we are going to do is write the generic equation of motion for the vertical axis.
We have then:

Where,
- <em>g: acceleration of gravity
</em>
- <em>vo: initial speed
</em>
- <em>h0: initial height
</em>
For the first body:

For the second body:

By the time both bodies have the same height we have:


Rewriting we have:



Clearing time:

Answer:
it takes 18.31s for the two window washers to reach the same height
