Width of a river is `30 m,` velocity is ` 2 m//s` and rowing velocity is `5 m//s` at `37^@` from the direction of river current find the time taken to cross the river.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, C

(a) Time taken to cross the river,
`t = (omega)/3=30/3=10s`
(b) Drift along the river
`x=(6)(t)=6xx10=60m`
