A boat `'B'` is moving upstream with velocity `3m//s` with respect to ground. An observer standing on the boat observes that a swimmer `'S'` is crossing the river perpendicular to the direction of motion of the boat. If river flow velocity is `4m//s` and swimmer crosses the river of width `100,m` is `50s`. Then

A

velocity of swimmer w.r.t ground is `sqrt(13)m//s`

B

drift of swimmer along river is zero

C

drift of swimmer along river will be `50m`

D

velocity of swimmer w.r.t grond is `2m//s`

A swimmer wishes to reach directly opposite bank of a river, flowing with velocity 8 m/s. The swimmer can swim 10 m/s still water. The width of the river is 480 m. Time taken by him to do so:

A boatman finds that he can save 6 s in crossing a river by the quickest path than by the shortest path. If the velocity of the boat and the river be, respectively, 17 ms^-1 and 8 ms^-1 , find the river width.

From a motorboat moving downstream with a velocity 2 m//s with respect to river, a stone is thrown. The stone falls on an ordinary boat at the instant when the motorboat collides with the ordinary boat. The velocity of the ordinary boat with repsect to the river is equal to zero. The river flow velocity is given to be 1 m//s . The initial velocity vector of the stone with respect to earth is :-
