To solve the problem of finding the resultant velocity of the swimmer crossing a river, we can break down the steps as follows: ### Step 1: Identify the velocities - The velocity of the river (Vr) is given as 6 km/hr. - The velocity of the swimmer with respect to the water (Vs) is given as 9 km/hr. ### Step 2: Set up the coordinate system - We can assume the river flows along the x-axis and the swimmer swims across the river along the y-axis. ...
