Answer: 24.02\ mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Boat is traveling due to north at v_{bf}=27\ mph

The current is flowing 60^{\circ} west of south at v_f=8\ mph

Suppose the actual velocity of boat is \vec{v_b}

In vector notation we can write

\Rightarrow \vec{v_{bf}}=\vec{v_b}-\vec{v_f}\\\\\Rightarrow \vec{v_b}=\vec{v_{bf}}+\vec{v_f}

Flow of current can be written as

\Rightarrow \vec{v_f}=-8\sin 60^{\circ}\hat{i}-8\cos 60^{\circ}\hat{j}

Insert the values of vectors

\Rightarrow \vec{v_b}=27\hat{j}-8\sin 60^{\circ}\hat{i}-8\cos 60^{\circ}\hat{j}\\\\\Rightarrow \vec{v_b}=-4\sqrt{3}\hat{i}+27\hat{j}-4\hat{j}\\\\\Rightarrow \vec{v_b}=-4\sqrt{3}\hat{i}+23\hat{j}

Magnitude of the velocity is

=\sqrt{(4\sqrt{3})^2+(23)^2}\\=\sqrt{48+529}\\=24.02\ mph
