Explanation:

It is given that,

Velocity in East, v_1=4\ m/s

Velocity in North, v_2=3\ m/s

(a) The resultant velocity is given by :

v=\sqrt{4^2+3^2}=5\ m/s

(b) The width of the river is, d = 80 m

Let t is the time taken by the boat to travel shore to shore. So,

t=\dfrac{d}{v}

t=\dfrac{80\ m}{5\ m/s}

t = 16 seconds

(c) Let x is the distance covered by the boat to reach the opposite shore. So,

x=v_2\times t

x=3\ m/s\times 16\ s

x = 48 meters

Hence, this is the required solution.
