A motorboat sets out in the direction N 79°24' E. The speed of the boat in still water is 21.5 mph. If the current is flowing directly south, and the actual direction of the motorboat is due east, find the speed of the current and the actual speed of the motorboat. The speed of the current is mph. (Type an integer or decimal rounded to the nearest tenth as needed.)
