A 270-m-wide river flows due east at a uniform speed of 4.4 m/s. Aboat with a speed of 8.2 m/s relative to the water leaves the southbank pointed in a direction 30o west of north. What is the (a)magnitude and (b) direction of the boat's velocity relative to theground? Give the direction as the angle of the velocity from duenorth, positive if to the east and negative if to the west. (c) Howlong does it take for the boat to cross the river?

A 480-m-wide river has a uniform flow speed of 1.3 m/s through a jungle and toward the east. An explorer wishes to leave a small clearing on the south bank and cross the river in a powerboat that moves at a constant speed of 4.1 m/s with respect to the water. There is a clearing on the north bank 65 m upstream from a point directly opposite the clearing on the south bank. (a) At what angle, measured relative to the direction of flow of the river, must the boat be pointed in order to travel 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 460-m-wide river has a uniform flow speed of 2.1 m/s through a jungle and toward the east. An explorer wishes to leave a small clearing on the south bank and cross the river in a powerboat that moves at a constant speed of 7.9 m/s with respect to the water. There is a clearing on the north bank 46m upstream from a point directly opposite the clearing on the south bank. A0 at what angle, measured relative to the direction of flow of the river, must the boat be pointed in order to travel 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?
