A motor boat starts from rest with an acceleration given by the law `a = (c)/((x+4)^(2))` where c is a positive constant. Given that the velocity of the boat when its displacement is `8 m` is `4m//s`. Find:
(a) The magnitude of c .
(b) The position of the boat when its speed was 4.5 m/s.
(c) The maximum velocity of the boat.

The acceleration of a particle is given by the relation as a = -kv^(5//2) , where is a constant. The particle starts at x=0 with a velocity of 16 m/s, and when x = 6, the velocity is observed to be 4 m/s. Find the velocity of particle when x=5m and the time at which the velocity ofthe particle is 9 m/s.
