A small ship capable of making a speed of 6.5 knots through still water maintains a heading due east while being set to the south by an ocean current. The actual course of the boat is from A to B, a distance of 8.3 nautical miles that requires exactly 1.6 hours. Determine the speed v, of the current and its direction e measured clockwise from the north.
