A boat is travelling on a river with a speed of 3m/sec. The force on the boat by water is 500N. The power delivered by the engine of the boat is :

A man wishes to cross a river which is flowing at a certain speed . Man uses a motor boat whose velocity with respect to water is more than speed of flow. Minimum possible time the boat takes to cross the river is t_(1) , but drift along the length of river is x . When boat takes shortest route to cross the river , then it takes time t_(2) . Find the velocity of boat with respect to water .

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.
