Aria can swim at D m/s in still water. Aria wishes to swim across a river 300m wide to a point directly opposite from where he is standing. The river flows westward at FEm/s (e.g., if E=6 and F=0, EF is 60m/s, if E=0 and F=4 so you switch EF to FE so FE=40m/s) and he is standing on the South bank of the river. a) Draw a diagram to illustrate the situation. b) What is the speed of Aria relative to ground?
