To solve the problem of finding the speed of the man swimming in the river, we can break it down into the following steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Given Information - The speed of the man relative to the water, \( V_{mw} = 5 \) km/hr. - The speed of the water, \( V_w = 3 \) km/hr. - The angle \( \theta = 120^\circ \) between the direction of the man's swimming and the direction of the water flow. ### Step 2: Set Up the Vector Components ...
