A boat 'B' is moving upstream with velocity 3m//s with respect to ground. An observer standing on the boat observes that a swimmer 'S' is crossing the river perpendicular to the direction of motion of the boat. If river flow velocity is 4m//s and swimmer crosses the river of width 100,m is 50s . Then

A boat can be rowed at 5 m/s on still water. It is used to cross a 200m wide river from the south bank to the north bank. The river current has uniform velocity of 3 m/s due east.
