<h3> Statement </h3>
<p>
$1.1.8.$ The conveyor belt has speed $w$. Above the belt moves a machine, throwing $\nu$ balls per unit time. The balls stick to the belt. A ball counter with a photocell counts only the balls that have passed directly under it. How many balls will the counter count in a unit of time if the speed of the machine is $v < w$, the speed of the counter is $u < w$?
