A ship is streaming due West at ` 12 ms"^(-10`. A boy runs across the dech at ` 5 ms^(-1)` in a direction at right angles to the direction of motion of the ship towards South, Calculate the velocity of the boy relative to ship.

Explanation

To solve the problem of finding the velocity of the boy relative to the ship, we can follow these steps:

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Identify the velocities:**
- The velocity of the ship (VS) is directed due West at 12 m/s. We can represent this as a vector:
\[
\vec{V_S} = -12 \hat{i} \, \text{m/s}
