The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of the motorboat reaching a point 30 degrees upstream while navigating a river flowing at 5 m/s, we can break down the problem into steps. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Given Values:** - Velocity of the river, \( V_r = 5 \, \text{m/s} \) - Velocity of the motorboat w.r.t water, \( V_b = 5\sqrt{3} \, \text{m/s} \) - Angle to reach upstream, \( \theta = 30^\circ \) 2. **Set Up the Coordinate System:** - Let the positive x-direction be downstream (in the direction of the river flow). - Let the positive y-direction be perpendicular to the river flow (across the river). 3. **Break Down the Velocity of the Motorboat:** - The velocity of the motorboat can be broken down into two components: - \( V_{bx} = V_b \cdot \cos(\theta) \) (upstream component) - \( V_{by} = V_b \cdot \sin(\theta) \) (across the river component) 4. **Account for the River's Velocity:** - The effective velocity of the boat upstream must counteract the river's flow. Thus, the net upstream velocity \( V_{net} \) can be expressed as: \[ V_{net} = V_{bx} - V_r \] - For the boat to reach the target point at a 30-degree angle upstream, we need the ratio of the vertical and horizontal components of the boat's velocity to satisfy: \[ \tan(30^\circ) = \frac{V_{by}}{V_{net}} \] 5. **Substituting Values:** - We know that \( \tan(30^\circ) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \). - Therefore, we can write: \[ \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{V_{by}}{V_{bx} - V_r} \] 6. **Expressing Components:** - Substitute the expressions for \( V_{by} \) and \( V_{bx} \): \[ V_{by} = V_b \cdot \sin(\theta) = 5\sqrt{3} \cdot \sin(\theta) \] \[ V_{bx} = V_b \cdot \cos(\theta) = 5\sqrt{3} \cdot \cos(\theta) \] - Thus, the equation becomes: \[ \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{5\sqrt{3} \cdot \sin(\theta)}{5\sqrt{3} \cdot \cos(\theta) - 5} \] 7. **Simplifying the Equation:** - Cancel \( 5\sqrt{3} \) from both sides: \[ \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{\sin(\theta)}{\cos(\theta) - 1} \] - Cross-multiplying gives: \[ \cos(\theta) - 1 = \sqrt{3} \sin(\theta) \] 8. **Using Trigonometric Identities:** - Rearranging gives: \[ \cos(\theta) - \sqrt{3} \sin(\theta) = 1 \] - This equation can be solved for \( \theta \). 9. **Finding the Angle \( \theta \):** - Solving the equation will yield \( \theta = 30^\circ \). ### Final Answer: The driver should steer the boat at an angle of \( 30^\circ \) upstream.
