A swimmer can swim in still water with a speed of 2.5 m/s. What is the shortest time taken by him to swim across the river?

A man directly crosses a river in time t_1 and swims down the current a distance equal to the width of the river I time t_2 . If u and v be the speed of the current and the man respectively, show that : t_1 :t_2 = sqrt(v + u) : sqrt(v - u)) .

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.

A man crosses the river perpendicular to river in time t seconds and travels an equal distance down the stream in T seconds. The ratio of man's speed in still water to the river water will be:

A man can row upstream at 15 km/h and down stream at 21 km/h the speed of water current of the river is:

A man who can swim 48 m/min in still water swims 200 m against the current and 200 m with the current. If the difference between those two times is 10 min, what is the speed of the current?
