A fish swims directly east across a river, but it is pulled 672m downstream (south) by a strong 6.00 m/s current. The fish was going at its maximum speed of 4.0 m/s(relative to the water) directly across the river. a) How wide is the river? b) How long does it take the fish to cross the river? c) What was the fish's speed relative to the shore? d) What is the angle of the resultant vector? e) A fish swims directly across a river, but it's pulled by a strong current. If the river current doubled, then the time required for the fish to reach the opposite shore would be : one quarter, one half, doubled, the same?
