2. A swimmer wishes to swim directly across a river that has a current of 2.5 m/s. He can swim 3.5 m/s in a pool (No current). a) Calculate the heading that the swimmer must use in order to swim directly across the river, relative to the current direction. Hint: Find the angle, 0. b) What is the magnitude of the velocity of the swimmer? If the river is 50m wide, how long does it take for the swimmer to reach the other c) side?
