The maximum and minimum speed of boat relative to shore.
Answer to Problem 33SSC
The maximum speed of boat relative to shore is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Maximum speed of boat relative to water is
Speed of water relative to shore is
Formula used:
If velocity of A with repect to B is
Calculation:
For maximum speed of boat relative to shore, the boat should move with maximum speed in the direction of river flow.
So,
For minimum speed of boat relative to shore, the boat should move with same speed of water but in opposite direction.
So,
Conclusion:
Therefore, the maximum speed of boat relative to shore is
