In a bucket and ball race, a bucket is placed at the starting point, which is 5 m from the first ball, and the other balls are placed 3 m apart in a straight line. There are ten balls in the line. A competitor starts from the bucket, picks up the nearest ball, runs back with it, drops it in the bucket, runs back to pick up the next ball, runs to the bucket to drop it in, and she continues in the same way until all the balls are in the bucket. What is the total distance the competitor has to run? (Hint: To pick up the first ball and the second ball, the total distance (in metres) run by a competitor is 2 x 5 + 2 x (5+3)]

An any instant of time, two ships A and B are 70 km apart along a line AB which is directed from north to south .

Find the distance of closest approach between the two ships and the time required for this.
