A 200m - wide river flows due east at a ...

A 200m - wide river flows due east at a uniform speed of 2.0 m//s . A boat with a speed of 8.0 m/s relative to the water leaves the south bank pointed in a direction `30^@` west of north . What are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the boat's velocity relative to the ground ? ( c) how long does the boat take to cross the river ?

To solve the problem, we will break it down into parts (a), (b), and (c) as specified in the question. ### Given Data: - Width of the river (D) = 200 m - Velocity of the river (V_rg) = 2.0 m/s (due east) - Speed of the boat relative to the water (V_br) = 8.0 m/s - Direction of the boat = 30° west of north ...
