Consider the situation of the previous problem. The man has to reack the other shore at the point directly opposite to his strting point. If the reaches the other shore somewhere else, he has to walk down to this point. Find the minimum distance that he has to walk.

A swimmer wishes to cross a 500 m wide river flowing at 5 km/h. His speed with respect to water is 3 km/h. Consider the situation of the previous problem. The man has to reach the other shore at the point directly opposite to his starting point. If the reaches the other shore somewhere else, he has to walk down to this point. Find the minimum distance that he has to walk.

In the previous problem, How far from the point directly opposite to the starting point does the man reach the opposite bank

A man who swims at a speed of 5km//h wants to cross a 500m wide stream flowing at 4km//h and reach the point which is directly opposite to his starting point. If he reaches a point somewhere else he has to walk back to desitination, his walking speed being 2km//h . Find the minimum time in which he can reah his destination.

A person covered 5//8 of his journey and he has to walk 240 m more to complete his journey. Find the total distance of the journey

Two swimmers start at the same time from point A one bank of a river to reach point B on the other bank, lying directly oppostie to point A. one of them crosses the river along the straight line AB, while the other swims at right angles to the stream and then walks the distance, which he has been carried awayby the stream to get to point B. Both swimmers reach point B at the same time. what was the velocity (assumed uniform) of his walking if velocity of both the swimmers in still water is 2.5 km h^(-1) and the stream velocity is 2 km h^(-1) ?

A man wants to cross a river 500 m wide. His rowing speed in still water is 3 kmph. The river flows at a speed of 2 kmph. If the man's walking speed on the shore is 5kmph, (a) find the path he should take to get to the point directly opposite to his starting point in the shortest time. (b) How long does it take to get there?
