A boat starting from point A takes 30 seconds to reach point B on the opposite bank of a river.
The heading of the boat is 15° north of east as shown. If it is assumed that the
velocity of water is in ± y direction, what is the velocity of the boat relative to
the water and the water speed and sense? The distance between points A and B
is 120 m in the x and 60 m in the y direction; i.e., the position vector from A to
B, TAB = 120î + 60ĵ meters.
ANS.
VB/w =4.14 m/s, Vw = 0.93 m/s
