Explanation Given: A river flows due south at 3 mi / h . A swimmer attempting to cross the river heads due east swimming at 2 mi / h relative to the water. Approach: The formula for component of a vector v = a i + b j is, v = | v | cos θ i + | v | sin θ j … ( 1 ) Calculation: Let u be the true velocity of the swimmer, x → be the velocity of the swimmer relative to the water. From the given information, x = 2 i , | v | = 3 , θ = − 90 ∘ . Substitute 3 for | v | , − 90 ∘ for θ in the equation ( 1 )
