A canoe has a velocity of .6 m/s relative to still water. A river has a current of .5 m/s. Two docks are 1500m apart on this river. How long will it take this canoe to make the round trip? (2 docks are on the same side of the river. Go down stream and then back upstream.) How long would it have taken a person walking on land at .6 m/s?
