Assertion:- The magnitude of velocity of two boats relative to river is same. Both boats start simultaneously from same point on one bank They may reach opposite bank simultaneously moving along different straight line paths.
Reason:- For boats to cross the river in same time, the component of their velocity relative to river in direction normal to flow should be same.

The velocity of boat relative to water is 4 m/sec . The velocity of water relative to ground is 8m/sec . In what direction boatman aims the boat to cross the river in minimum drift distance method.

The current velocity of river grows in proportion to the distance from its bank and reaches the maximum value v_0 in the middle. Near the banks the velocity is zero. A boat is moving along the river in such a manner that the boatman rows his boat always perpendicular to the current. The speed of the boat in still water is u. Find the distance through which the boat crossing the river will be carried away by the current, if the width of the river is c. Also determine the trajectory of the boat.
