 A float is overcome by a motor boat going downstream at a point A. Thours later it turns back and after some time it passes the float at a distance d km from point A. What is the velocity of stream if the speed of motor remains constant w.r.t. water?

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the motion of the motorboat and the float in the river. Let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Define Variables - Let \( V_{br} \) = speed of the motorboat with respect to water (constant). - Let \( V_r \) = speed of the river (stream). - Let \( T \) = time taken by the motorboat to reach point A and turn back (in hours). - Let \( d \) = distance from point A where the motorboat meets the float (in km). ...

When a boat travels in a river (strictly in a straight line), it can go either in the direction of flow of river (i.e downstream) or in the direction opposite the flow of river (i.e. upstrem ). Thus the boat's actual speed is more than by which it can move in stationary water while travelling downstram (as river's flow speed is added to it) and less while travelling upstream (as the boat moves against the flow of river).Based on the given information answer the following questions A boat going downstream in a following river overcome a raft at a point P. 1 h later it turned back and after some time passed the raft at a distance 6 km from point P.
