Q15. As shown in the image below, a man starts from point A, and tries to swim across a 40-ft wide river to point B on the other side, downstream at a distance d. The river flows with a constant velocity v, = 2.6 ft/s, with direction shown in the image. The man can swim at a speed vm/r = 6.0 ft/s in still water (which is the relative constant speed with respective to the flowing water). If the distance d = 43 ft, determine the magnitude of the man's absolute speed vm (with the effect of the flowing water) so he can arrive at point B. Please pay attention: the numbers may change since they are randomized. Your answer must include 2 places after the decimal point, and proper unit. d d B.

Q15. As shown in the image below, a man starts from point A, and tries to swim
across a 40-ft wide river to point B on the other side, downstream at a distance
d. The river flows with a constant velocity v = 2.6 ft/s, with direction shown in the
image. The man can swim at a speed vm/r = 6.0 ft/s in still water (which is the
relative constant speed with respective to the flowing water). If the distance d = 43
ft, determine the magnitude of the man's absolute speed vm (with the effect of the
flowing water) so he can arrive at point B. Please pay attention: the numbers may
change since they are randomized. Your answer must include 2 places after the
