Homework Statement
A 16-ft ladder is sliding down a wall at a rate of 4 ft/sec. Find the velocity of the top of the ladder at t=s if the bottom is 5ft from the wall at t=0.
Homework Equations
It's a related rates problem.
Not sure how I'm supposed to incorporate t=s into the problem, or if I'm supposed to solve for dx/dt or dy/dt.
Or if I'm even on the right track.
