Two boats, A and B, move away from a buoy anchored at the middle of a river along the mutually perpendicular straight lines: the boat A along the river, and the boat B across the river. Having moved off an equal distance from the buoy the boats returned. Find the ratio of times of motion of boats `tau_A//tau_B` if the velocity of each boat with respect to water is `eta=1.2` times greater than the stream velocity.

A boat is pushed away from the river bank when a sailor jumps from the boat to the bank. Why?

A man crosses a river in a boat. If he cross the river in minimum time he takes 10 min with a drift 120 m. If he crosses the river taking shortest path, he takes 12.5 min, find (a) width of the river (b) velocity of the boat with respect to water (c) speed of the current
