A man wishes to swim across a river 0.5km. wide if he can swim at the rate of 2 km/h. in still water and the river flows at the rate of 1km/h. The angle (w.r.t. the flow of the river) along which he should swin so as to reach a point exactly oppposite his starting point, should be:-

A river is flowing at the rate of 6 km/hr. A swimmer swims across with a velocity of 9 km/hr w.r.t. water. The resultant velocity of the man will be in (km/hr):-

A man can swim with a speed of 4.0 km/h in still water . How long does he take to cross a river 1.0 km wide if the river flows steadily at 3.0 km/h and he makes his strokes normal to the river current ? How far down the river does he go when he reaches the other bank ?

A boat man can row with a speed of 10 km/hr. in still water. The river flow steadily at 5 km/hr. and the width of the river is 2 km. if the boat man cross the river with reference to minimum distance of approach then time elapsed in rowing the boat will be:-

A river 3m deep and 40m wide is flowing at the rate of 2 km/hr. How much water will fall into the sea in 2 minutes :-

A boat can be rowed at 5 m/s on still water. It is used to cross a 200m wide river from the south bank to the north bank. The river current has uniform velocity of 3 m/s due east. (a) In which direction must it be steered to cross the river perpendicular to current ? (b) How long will it take to cross the river in a direction perpendicular to the river flow ? (c) In which direction must the boat be steered to cross the river in minimum time ? How far will it drift ?

A man can swim at a speed 2ms^(-1) in still water. He starts swimming in a river at an angle 150^(@) with direction of flow of water and reaches at the exactly oppsite point on the opposite bank. (a) Find the speed of flowing water. (b) If width of river is 1 km then calculate the time taken also

A river 4.0 miles wide is following at the rate of 2 miles/hr. The minimum time taken by a boat to cross the river with a speed v=4 miles/hr (in still water) is approximately

A swimmer starts to swim from point a to cross a river. He wants to reach point B on the opposite side of the river. The line AB makes an angle 60^(@) with the river flow as hown. The velocity of the swimmer in still water is same as that of the water (i) In what direction should he try to direct his velocity ? Calculate angle between his velocity anf river velocity. (ii) Find the ratio of the time taken to cross the river in this situation to the minimum time in which he can cross this river.

A swimmer starts to swim from point a to cross a river. He wants to reach point B on the opposite side of the river. The line AB makes an angle 60^(@) with the river flow as shown. The velocity of the swimmer in still water is same as that of the water (i) In what direction should he try to direct his velocity ? Calculate angle between his velocity and river velocity. (ii) Find the ratio of the time taken to cross the river in this situation to the minimum time in which he can cross this river.
