In a harbour, wind is blowing at the speed of ` 72 km //h` and the flag on the mast of a boat anchored in the harbiyr flutters along the `N-E` direction. If the boat starts moving at a speed of ` 51 km// h` to the North, what is the direction of flag on the mast of the bat ?

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to determine the direction of the flag on the mast of the boat when it starts moving north while the wind is blowing from the northeast. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Wind's Velocity**: The wind is blowing at a speed of 72 km/h in the northeast direction. In vector form, northeast can be represented as: \[ \text{Wind Velocity} = 72 \, \text{km/h} \left( \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \hat{i} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \hat{j} \right) = \frac{72}{\sqrt{2}} \hat{i} + \frac{72}{\sqrt{2}} \hat{j} ...

A political party has to start its procession in an area where wind is blowing at a speed of 30 sqrt(2) km h^-1 and party flags on the cars are fluttering along north - east direction. If the procession starts with a speed of 40 km h^-1 towards north, find the direction of flags on the cars.

At a harbour, a boat is standing and wind is blowing at a speed of sqrt(2)m//sec. due to which , the flag on the boat flutters along north - east. Now the boat enters in to river, which is flowing with a velocity of 2m//sec . Due north. The boat starts with zero velocity relative to the river and its constant acceleration relative to the river is 0.2m//sec^(2) due east. In which direction will the flag flutter at 10 seconds ?

A child in danger of drowning in a river is being carried downstream by a current that flows uniformly at a speed of 2.5 km//h. The child is 0.6 km from shore and 0.8 km upstream of a boat landing when a rescue boat sets out. If the boat proceeds at its maximum speed of 20 km//h with respect to the water, what angle does the boat velocity v make with the shore? How long will it take boat to reach the child?
