A river has a width d. A fisherman in a boat crosses the river tiwce. During the first crossing, his goal is to minimize the cross minimize the distance that the boat is carried downstram In the first case, the crossing time is `T_(0)` . In the second case, the crossing time is `3T_(0)` . What is the speed of the river flow? Find all possible answera:

A boat crosses a river of width 1 km by shortest path in 15 min. if the speed of boat in still water is 5 kmh^(-1) , then what is the speed of the river?

The speed of river current close to banks is nearly zero. The current speed increases linearly from the banks to become maximum (= V_(0)) in the middle of the river. A boat has speed ‘u’ in still water. It starts from one bank and crosses the river. Its velocity relative to water is always kept perpendicular to the current. Find the distance through which the boat will get carried away by the current (along the direction of flow) while it crosses the river. Width of the river is l.

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:

In the previous problem, the man wants to cross the river in the minimum time. In which directions, he should move? Find the minimum time to cross the river and his displacement (drift) along the flow.

A boat has to cross a river.It crosses the river by making an angle of 60^(@) with the bank of the river due to the stream of the river and travels a distance of 600m to reach the another side of the river.What is the width of the river?

Assertion: To cross the river in minimum time swimmer should swimming in perpendicular direction to the water current. Reason: In this case river flow helps to cross this river.

Two ports, A and B, on a north-south line ar separated by a river of width D. The river flows east with speed u. A boat crosses the river starting from port A. The speed of the boat relative to the river is v. Assume v=2u Q. Suppose the boat wants to cross the river from A to the other side in the shortest possible time. Then what should be the direction of the velocity of boat relative to river?

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.
