A spectator watches a rowing race from the edge of a river bank. The lead boat is moving in a straight line that is 110 ft from the river bank. If the boat is moving at a constant speed of 10 ft/sec, how fast is the boat moving away from the spectator when it is 600 ft past her?

Round the answer to the nearest hundredth, if necessary.

__________ ft/sec
