A boat moves right across a river with velocity 10Kmh^(-1) relative to water. The water has a uniform speed of 5.00Kmh^(-1) relative to the earth. Find the velocity of the boat' relative to an observer standing on either bank. If the width of river is 3.0Km , find the time it takes the baat to cross it.

A amn rowing a boat upstream is at rest with respect to shore. (a) Is he doing any work ? (b) If he stope rowing and moves down with the stream, is any work being done on him ?

A river of width a with straight parallel banks flows due north with speed u. The points O and A are on opposite banks and A is due east of O. Coordinate axes O_x and O_y are taken in the east and north directions respectively. A boat, whose speed is v relative to water, starts from O and crosses the river. If the boat is steered due east and u varies with x as : u = x(a-x) v/a^2. Find (a) equation of trajectory of the boat, (b) time taken to cross the river, (c) absolute velocity of boatman when he reaches the opposite bank, (d) the displacement of boatman when he reaches the opposite bank from the initial position.

A plane moves in windy weather due east while the pilot the plane somewhat south of east. The wind is blowing at 50 km/h directed 30^(@) east of north, while the palne moves at 200 km/h relative to the wind .
