Question
A 150-m-wide river flows due east at a uniform speed of 2.3m/s. A boat with a speed of 8.2m/s relative to the water leaves the south
bank pointed in a direction 33° west of north. What is the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the boat's velocity relative to the ground?
Give the direction as the angle of the velocity from due north, positive if to the east and negative if to the west. (c) How long does it
take for the boat to cross the river?
