Showcase your calculations skills

[DanMarotta]

New Mathcad blog: "Show your calculation skills with Mathcad - and win!"

Here's a chance to show off your Mathcad skills. What's in it for you? This new Think - Hear - Share t-shirt.

The problem statement:

A fly is sitting at a distance of h from a man with a fly swatter. At time t=0 the fly is pursued by the man who has a constant acceleration of 1. The fly flies in a straight line away from the man with an acceleration of 0.6t. What is the largest initial separation, h, for which the man can intercept the fly?

Good luck!
