- VelocitySuppose that in Exercise 55 the current is flowing at 1.2 mi/hr due south. In what direction should the swimmer head in order to arrive at a landing point due east of his starting point? VelocityA river flows due south at 3mi/h. A swimmer attempting to cross the river heads due east swimming at 2mi/h relative to the water. Find the true velocity of the swimmer as a vector.arrow_forwardGravitational potential The potential function for the gravitational force field due to a mass M at the origin acting on a mass m is φ = GMm/ | r | , where r = ⟨x, y, z⟩ is the position vector of the mass m, and G is the gravitational constant.a. Compute the gravitational force field F = -∇φ .b. Show that the field is irrotational; that is, show that ∇ x F = 0.arrow_forwardA point moving a long a curve whose position vector is R(t)=(t sin t +cost)i+(sin t-t cost)j+4 k; the normal component of acceleration isarrow_forward
