A swimmer, capable of swimming at a speed of 1.0 m/s in still water (i.e., the swimmer can swim with a speed of 1.0 m/s relative

Vesnalui [34]

If the current takes him downstream we must find the resultant vector of the velocities: $V res= \sqrt{1^{2}+0.91^{2} } = \sqrt{1.8281}= 1.3520747$ Then if the river is 3000 m-wide the swimmer will have to pass:
1.3520747 · 300 = 4056.14 m t = 4056.14 m : 1 m/s
a ) It takes 4056.15 seconds ( 1 hour 7 minutes and 36 seconds ) to cross the river.
b ) 0.91 · 3000 = 2730 m
He will be 2730 m downstream.
