Question
A boat that can travel at 2.25 m/s in still water is heading directly across a river that is flowing
at a rate of 1.50 m/s, i.e., so that it will end up downstream. (a) What is the velocity of the
boat as measured by a person standing on the shore? Give both the magnitude and the angle.
(b) If the river is 150 m across, how long does it take the boat to cross the river and in this
time how far down stream will the boat have traveled? (c) Provide a diagram of the situation.
