The velocity of M relative to the water.
Answer to Problem 36SSC
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Boat is travelling east at
Formula used:
Relative velocity of an object a to object c is given by
Calculation:
Assume the east direction to be horizontal direction towards right, then north direction will be vertically upwards direction.
Now, the velocity of M relative to water can be written as,
Since the above velocities are at right angle, thus M’s velocity relative to water can be written as,
Using given values in above,
At an angle,
Conclusion:
Thus, velocity of the M is
