Answer:
a)V=18.35 m/s (South -East)
b) t =7.41 m/s
c)D= 66.70 m
Explanation:
Given that
Velocity of boat in east direction = 16 m/s
Velocity of river = 9 m/s
a)The resultant velocity V
![V=\sqrt{16^2+9^2}\ m/s](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=V%3D%5Csqrt%7B16%5E2%2B9%5E2%7D%5C%20m%2Fs)
V=18.35 m/s (South -East)
b)
We know that
Distance = Velocity x time
Lets t time takes to cross the river
136 = 18.35 x t
t =7.41 m/s
c)
The distance covered downstream
We know that
Distance = Velocity x time
t= 7.41 s
D= 7.41 x 9 m
D= 66.70 m
