The velocity of the Jogger relative to the water.
Answer to Problem 36P
The velocity of the man with respect to the water is 9.7m/s.
Explanation of Solution
Given Data:
Jogger’s velocity is 0.6 m/s and the river velocity is 1.70 m/s.
Calculation:
The diagram is drawn as:
The velocity of the man with respect to the boat:
Velocity of the boat with respect to the water:
Velocity of the man with respect to the water:
Hence, the velocity of the man with respect to the water is 9.7m/s.
