To solve the problem of a man crossing a 2 km wide river flowing at a rate of 5 km/hr while swimming at a speed of 10 km/hr in still water, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We need to find the time it takes for the man to cross the river along the shortest path. The river flows, which means the man must swim at an angle to counteract the current. ### Step 2: Set Up the Variables - Width of the river (d) = 2 km - Speed of the river (Vr) = 5 km/hr ...
