(c) A second beltway is located next to the first one. It isidentical to the first one but moves in the opposite direction atspeed v1. Just as the man steps onto the beginning of the beltwayand begins to walk at speed v2 relative to his beltway, a childsteps on the other end of the adjacent beltway. The child stands atrest relative to this second beltway. How long after stepping onthe beltway does the man pass the child? (Use any variable orsymbol stated above as necessary.)
