Answer:
The rate of current is 2.5 mph.
Step-by-step explanation:
The speed in the water when current is absent is 9 mph.
If the speed of the current is v mph then the upstream speed is (9 - v) mph and the downstream speed is (9 + v) mph.
Now, it takes 5 hours longer to travel 74 miles upstream than down stream, then we can write the equation as
⇒
⇒ 148v = 405 - 5v²
⇒ 5v² + 148v - 405 = 0
Applying Sridhar Acharya's formula we can write
(Neglecting the negative root)
⇒ mph (Rounded to the nearest 10th) (Answer)
