A launch plies between two points A and ...

A launch plies between two points A and B on the opposite banks of a river always following the line AB. The distance S between points and B is 1200 m. The velocity of the river current `v= 1.9 m//s` is constant over the entire width of the river. The line AB makes an angle `alpha= 60^@` with the direction of the current. With what velocity u and at what angle beta to the line AB should the launch move to cover the distance AB and back in a time `t= 5 min`? The angle beta remains the same during the passage from A to B and from B to A.
