Chapter 4, Problem 24P

A ship is crossing a river at a heading of -150° with a speed of V s w = 30 mph against the water as shown in Fig. P4.24. The river is flowing in the direction of 135° with a speed of V w = 10 mph.

Chapter 4, Problem 24P, A ship is crossing a river at a heading of -150 with a speed of Vsw=30 mph against the water as

(a) Calculate the resultant velocity V of the ship using vector addition (use the i ^ and j ^ notation).

(b) Determine the magnitude and direction of V . (c) Repeat part (b) using the laws of sines and cosines.
