A 210-m-wide river flows due east at a uniform speed of 4.1 m/s. A boat with a speed of 7.1 m/s relative to the water leaves the south bank pointed in a direction 27∘ west of north. What is the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the boat's velocity relative to the ground? Give the direction as the angle of the velocity from due north, positive if to the east and negative if to the west. (c) How long does it take for the boat to cross the river? (a) Number Units (b) Number Units (c) Number Units

A swimmer, capable of swimming at a speed of 1.39 m/s in still water (i.e, the swimmer can swim with a speed of 1.39 m/s relative to the water), starts to swim directly across a 2.90-km-wide river. However, the current is 0.817 m/s, and it carries the swimmer downstream. (a) How long does it take the swimmer to cross the river? (b) How far downstream will the swimmer be upon reaching the other side of the river? (a) Number Units (b) Number Units
