A swimmer swims with a speed of 10 m/s at angle of 120^0 from direction of river flow. Find velocity of river flow such that swimmer reach exactly opposite point of bank.

A swimmer swims from a point A against a current for 5 minutes and then swims backwards in favour of the current for next 5 minutes and comes to the point B. If AB = 100 metres, the speed of the current (in km per hour) is :

Velocity of the river with respect to ground is given by v_0. Width of the river is d. A swimmer swims (with respect to water) perpendicular to the current with acceleration a = 2t (where t is time) starting from rest from the origin O at t= 0. The equation of trajectory of the path followed by the swimmer is

A swimmer wishes to reach directly opposite bank of a river, flowing with velocity 8 m/s. The swimmer can swim 10 m/s still water. The width of the river is 480 m. Time taken by him to do so:

A river is flowing at the rate of 6 km/hr. A swimmer swims across with a velocity of 9 km/hr w.r.t. water. The resultant velocity of the man will be in (km/hr):-

A swimmer swims in still water at a speed =5 km//hr . He enters a 200m wide river, having river flow speed =4km//hr at point A and proceeds to swim at an angle of 127^(@) (sin 37^(@) = 0.6) with the river flow direction. Another point B is located directly across A on the other side. the swimmer lands on the other bank at a point C , form which he walks the distance CB with a speed = 3km//hr . The total time in which he reaches from A to B is

A swimmer wishes to reach directly opposite point on the other bank of a river,flowing with velocity 4sqrt(2)m/s .The swimmer can swim with 8m/s in still water.The angle with the flow direction he should swim to reach the directly opposite point is (A) 45^(0) (B) 90^(0) (C) 135^(0) (D) 150^(0)

The stream of a river is flowing with a speed of 2 km/h. A swimmer can swim at a speed of 4 km/h. What should be the direction of the swimmer with respect to the flow of the river to cross the river straight?
