A small boat has enough fuel to run its engine for 3.25 hours. Theboat moves at a constant speed of 2.22 m/s relative to the water.The boat sails downstream on a river that is running at 1.30 m/s.The boat then sails back upstream at a speed of 2.75 m/s relativeto the water until it returns to its starting point.
a) How long can the boat sail downstream before it has to turnaround if it is to return to
port without refueling?
b) How far down the river did the boat go?
