A river flows from south to north at 5.4 km/hr. on the west bank of this river, a boat launches and travels perpendicular to the

current with a velocity of 7.6 km/hr due east. if the river is 1.4 km wide at this point, how far downstream does the boat land on the east bank of the river relative to the point it started at on the west bank?

The motion of the boat is basically a uniform motion on both directions, north-south (NS) and east-west (EW), with two constant velocities: v_{SN}=5.4~km/h and v_{EW}=7.6~km/h. 
From the law of motion on the EW direction we can find the total time of the motion:
S_{EW}(t) = v_{EW} t
since we know S_{EW}=1.4~km, we find
t= \frac{S_{EW}}{v_{EW}} =0.18~h
and then, we can find how far the boat went on the NS direction during this time:
S_{NS}=v_{NS} t =5.4~km/h \cdot 0.18~h = 1~km

What is buoyant force?
Nostrana [21]

This is the upthrust on an object which is placed inside a fluid

This force act upwards and always push upwards

so the correct answer is given as

D. A force within a fluid that pushes upward

this force is always due to pressure difference at two levels of

at lower level since pressure is more that is why the force is upwards and this upthrust is known as Buoyancy
