(a) If she aims her body directly across a 45-m-wideriver whose current is 0.50 m/s how far downstream (froma point opposite her starting point) will she land? (b) Howlong will it take her to reach the other side? (II) (a) At what upstream angle must the swimmer in above Problem aim, if she is to arrive at a point directly acrossthe stream? (b) How long will it take her?
