A boat crosses a river with a velocity of 8(km)/(h) . If the resulting velocity of boat is 10(km)/(h) then the velocity of river water is

A man in a boat crosses a river from point A. If he rows perpendicular to the banks he reaches point C (BC = 120 m) in 10 min. If the man heads at a certain angle alpha to the straight line AB (AB is perpendicular to the banks) against the current he reaches point B in 12.5 min. Find the width of the river w, the rowing velocity u, the speed of the river current v and the angle alpha .

Velocity of boat in still water is 13 m/s. If water flows ina river with a velocity of 5 m/s. What is the difference in times taken by him to cross the river in the shortest path and in the shortest time. If the width of the river is 10 m.

The current velocity of river grows in proportion to the distance from its bank and reaches the maximum value v_0 in the middle. Near the banks the velocity is zero. A boat is moving along the river in such a manner that the boatman rows his boat always perpendicular to the current. The speed of the boat in still water is u. Find the distance through which the boat crossing the river will be carried away by the current, if the width of the river is c. Also determine the trajectory of the boat.
