A swimmer capable of swimming with velocity `v` relative to water jumps in a flowing river having velocity `u`. The man swims a distance `d` down stream and returns back to the original position. Find out the time taken in complete motion.

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of the swimmer swimming in a river, we can break it down into a few steps. The swimmer swims downstream and then returns upstream to the original position. We need to find the total time taken for this complete motion. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the velocities:** - The swimmer's velocity relative to water is \( v \). - The river's velocity is \( u \). ...

A boatman moves his boat with a velocity 'v' (relative to water) in river and finds to his surprise that velocity of river 'u' (with respect to ground) is more than 'v'. He has to reach a point directly opposite to the starting point on another bank by travelling minimum possible distance. Then
