AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to determine the direction in which the swimmer should swim to achieve the minimum displacement when the speed of the water is double that of the swimmer's velocity relative to the water. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Given Values**: - Let the swimmer's velocity relative to water be \( v_m = 5 \, \text{m/s} \). - The speed of water \( v_w \) is double that of the swimmer's velocity relative to water: \[ ...
