To find: The speed of motorboat.
Answer to Problem 26AYU
Speed of motorboatis
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Speed of current is
Boat makes an upstream trip in
Calculation:
As per the given information −
Speed of current is
Let us suppose speed of motorboat is
Boat makes an upstream trip in
While going upstream speed of current is subtracted and while going downstream speed of the current gets added in the speed of the boat.
Since distance covered upstream and downstream are same.
Hence, speed of motorboat is
