A man in a boat crosses a river from point A. If he rows perpendicular to the banks he reaches point C (BC = 120 m) in 10 min. If the man heads at a certain angle alpha to the straight line AB (AB is perpendicular to the banks) against the current he reaches point B in 12.5 min. Find the width of the river w, the rowing velocity u, the speed of the river current v and the angle alpha . Assume the velocity of the boat relative to water to be constant and the same magnitude in both cases.
