Sudden change in the temperature of water in the river harms

A boat can be rowed at 5 m/s on still water. It is used to cross a 200m wide river from the south bank to the north bank. The river current has uniform velocity of 3 m/s due east. (a) In which direction must it be steered to cross the river perpendicular to current ? (b) How long will it take to cross the river in a direction perpendicular to the river flow ? (c) In which direction must the boat be steered to cross the river in minimum time ? How far will it drift ?

The velocity of water in a river is less on the bank and large in the middle : why?

A man crosses the river perpendicular to river in time t seconds and travels an equal distance down the stream in T seconds. The ratio of man's speed in still water to the river water will be:

The speed of river current close to banks is nearly zero. The current speed increases linearly from the banks to become maximum (= V_(0)) in the middle of the river. A boat has speed ‘u’ in still water. It starts from one bank and crosses the river. Its velocity relative to water is always kept perpendicular to the current. Find the distance through which the boat will get carried away by the current (along the direction of flow) while it crosses the river. Width of the river is l.
