A river flows at 3 m/s and is 300 m wide . A man swing across the rivers with a velocity of 2 m/s directed always perpendicular to the flow of current . (a) How long does it take the man to cross the river ? (b) In what direction does he actually moves to cross the relative to the shore ? (c) How far down the fiver(from the starting point ) does he reach the opposite bank?
