A river 100 ft wide is flowing north at w feet per second. A dog starts at (100, 0) and swims at vo = 4 ft/s, always heading toward a tree at (0,0) on the west bank directly across from the dog's starting point. If w = 4 ft/s, show that the dog reaches instead the point on the west bank 50 ft north of the tree.
