To solve the problem, we need to find the speed of the man swimming at an angle of \( \theta = 120^\circ \) to the direction of the water flow. The speed of the man relative to the water is given as \( V_{mw} = 5 \) km/hr, and the speed of the water is \( V_w = 3 \) km/hr. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem**: We need to find the resultant speed of the man swimming in a river where the water is flowing. The man swims at an angle of \( 120^\circ \) to the flow of the water. 2. **Setting Up the Vectors**: ...
