To solve the problem, we need to determine the angle at which the man should swim in order to reach the opposite bank directly, considering the current of the river. Let's break down the solution step by step. ### Step 1: Define the Variables Let: - \( V_w \) = speed of the water (river current) - \( V_m \) = speed of the man in still water - According to the problem, \( V_m = 2V_w \). ...
