Problem

Frames B, C, and G are arranged in a straight line. Object A moves with velocity

v_{A/B}

relative to frame B; frame B moves with velocity

v_{B/C}

relative to frame C; and frame C moves with velocity

v_{C/G}

relative to the ground G. Derive a single expression for the velocity

v_{A/G}

of object A relative to the ground in terms of the given velocities.
