A motorboat is to reach at a point `30^@` upstream on other side of a river flowing with velocity 5 m/s.
Velocity of motor boat with respect to water is `5sqrt3 m/(sec)`. The driver should steer the boat an angle:

A

`30^@` w.r.t the line of destination from starting point.

B

`60^@` w.r.t normal to the bank

C

`120^@` w.r.t stream direction.

D

A man swims across the river which flows with a velocity of 3 km/h due east.if the velocity of man relative to water is 4 km/h due north, then How far from his starting point will he reach the opposite bank?

sqrt(3) times the velocity of a boat on still water is twice the velocity of current of a river. At what angle , with respect to the current, should the boat be steered so as to cross the river in least distance ?

Two boats, each with velocity 8km*h^(-1) , attempt to cross a river of width 800 m. The velocity of river current is 5 km*h^(-1) . One of the boats crosses the river following the shortest path and the other follows the route in which the time taken is minimum. If they start simultaneously, what would be the time difference between their arrivals at the other bank ?

A boat moves in still water with a velocity which is k times less than the river flow velocity. Find the angle to the stream direction at which the boat should be rowed to minimize drifting.

A boat has to cross a river. It crosses the river by making an angle of 60^(@) with the bank of the river due to the stream of the river and travels a distance of 600m to reach the another side of the river. What is the width of the river?

The force of resistance encountered by water on a motor boat of mass m going in still water with velocity v is proportional to the velocity vdot At t=0 when its velocity is v_0, then engine shuts off. Find an expression for the position of motor boat at time t and also the distance travelled by the boat before it comes to rest. Take the proportionality constant as k > 0.

When sound is produced in an Aeroplane moving with a velocity of 200 m/sec horizontally its echo is heard after 10sqrt(5) seconds. If velocity of sound in air is 300 m/sec the elevation of the aircraft is

Through a horizontal tube of non-uniform cross section water is flowing a uniform rate. Pressure of water at any point in the tube is 13xx10^4 N. m^-2 and velocity of water flow is 0.6 m. s^-1 . If the velocity of water flow at another point in the tube is 9 m. s^-1 , then what is the pressure there?
