A 200 m wide river has a uniform flow speed of 1.1 m/s through a jungle and toward the east. An explorer wishes to leave a small clearing on the south bank across the river in a powerboat that moves at a constant speed of 4.0 m/s with respect to the water. There is a clearing on the north bank 82 m upstream from a point directly opposite the clearing on the south bank. (A) In what direction must the boat be pointing in order to ravel in a straight line and land in the clearing on the north bank? (B) How long will the boat take to cross the river and land in the clearing?

A boat, whose speed in still water is 3.00 {\rm m/s}, must cross a 280-{\rm m}-wide river and arrive at a point 120 {\rm m} upstream from where it starts. To do so, the pilot must head the boat at a 45.0 {\rm \circ} upstream angle . What is the speed of the river's current?

A river of width 30 m flows in a straight line (the x direction)with a speed of 0.23 m/s. A boat is rowed such that it travelsdirectly across the river (along y). If the boat takes exactly 4.0minutes to cross the river, what is the speed of the boat relativeto the water?
