A spotlight located on the ground 10 m10\text{ m} from a vertical wall sweeps upward, creating a spot of light that moves on the wall. If the beam makes an angle θ\theta with the ground and is rotating at 0.10 rad/s0.10\text{ rad/s}, how fast is the spot moving when it is 4 m4\text{ m} above the ground? a) 0.91 m/s0.91\,\text{m/s} b) 0.40 m/s0.40\,\text{m/s} c) 1.16 m/s1.16\,\text{m/s} d) 1.08 m/s1.08\,\text{m/s}
