Two swimmers leave point A on the bank of the river to reach point B lying right across on the other bank. One of them crosses the river along the straight line AB while the other swims at right angles to the stream and then walks the distance that he has been carried away by the stream to get to point B. What was the velocity u of his walking if both swimmers reached the destination simultaneously? The stream velocity `v_0=2.0 km//hour` and the velocity `v^'` of each swimmer with respect to water equals to `2.5km` per hour.

Two swimmers leave point A on one bank of the river to reach point B lying right across on the other bank. One of them crosses the river along the straight line AB while the other swims at right angles to the stream and them walks the distance that he has been carried by the stream to get to point B . what was the velocity v_(0) of his walking if both swimmers reach the destination simultaneously? The stream velocity is u and v is the velocity of swimmer in still water.

Two swimmers start at the same time from point A one bank of a river to reach point B on the other bank, lying directly oppostie to point A. one of them crosses the river along the straight line AB, while the other swims at right angles to the stream and then walks the distance, which he has been carried awayby the stream to get to point B. Both swimmers reach point B at the same time. what was the velocity (assumed uniform) of his walking if velocity of both the swimmers in still water is 2.5 km h^(-1) and the stream velocity is 2 km h^(-1) ?
