A weather balloon is tethered to the ground and reaches a steady altitude of 80 ft 80\text{ ft} . It drifts horizontally due to a wind blowing at 6 ft/s 6\text{ ft/s} . How quickly is the tether being let out when 150 ft 150\text{ ft} of tether has been released?

The tether is being let out at 5.08 ft/s 5.08\text{ ft/s} 5.08 ft/s .

The tether is being let out at − 6.08 ft/s -6.08\text{ ft/s} .

The tether is being let out at 6.08 ft/s 6.08\text{ ft/s} .

The tether is being let out at − 5.08 ft/s -5.08\text{ ft/s} .
