An oil barge is sailing forwards with a velocity of 7 m/s [N] relative to the water; there is a current flowing in the water of 5 m/s [S 30° E]. A sailor walks from the front to the back of the oil barge at a constant speed of 3 m/s. Determine the sailor’s velocity as measured by a stationary observer on the ground
