To solve the problem of determining the angle at which a man should swim to reach the opposite bank of a river directly, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Define Variables**: - Let the speed of the river (water) be \( v \). - The speed of the man in still water (pond) is given as double that of the river, so it is \( 2v \). ...

In a lake, stream direction is as shown in the figure. A man starting from the point P on the bank wants to move to the otherside of the bank in shortest time .Then direction in which he should swim

If speed of water in river is 4 m/s and speed of swimmer with respect to water is 3 m/s, then in which direction the swimmer must swim so that he will reach directly opposite end?

A person is standing at the edge of a slow moving river which is 1 km wide. He wishes to return to the camp ground on the opposite side of the river for which he may swim to any point on the opposite bank and then walk for the rest of the distance. The campground is 1 km away from the point on the opposite bank directly across from where he starts to swim. If he swims at the rate of 2 km/hr and walks at the rate of 3 km/hr, the minimum time taken by him is approximately 0.6 hr (b) 0.7 hr (c) 0.8 hr (d) 0.9 hr

A T.V. Tower stands vertically on a bank of a river. From a point on the other bank directly opposite to the tower, the angle of elevation of the top of the tower is 60 degrees. From a point 20m away this point on the same bank, the angle of elevation of the top of the tower is 30o . Find the height of the tower and the width of the river.

A man can swim in still water with a speed of 3 m//s x and y axis are drawn along and normal to the bank of river flowing to right with a speed of 1 m//s .

A swimmer can swim in still water with speed v and the river is flowing with speed v//2 . What is the ratio of the time taken to swimming across the river in shortest time to that of swimming across the river over the shortest distance ?

In a river of 20 m width. Half part of river flows with speed 10 m//sec and remaining half part flows with 20m//sec as shown in figure. A man starts to swim from A and reaches to point B in 10 sec. Man swims with speed V_m with respect to river at an angle theta with line AB. Then, angle theta will be : (man swims with constant speed and in same direction with respect to river throughout the motion):
