A boat crosses a river with a width w=160m in which thecurrent has a uniform speed of 1.50m/s. The pilot maintains abearing perpendicular to river and a throttle setting to give aconstant speed of 2.00m/s relative to the water.
a) What is the speed of the boat relative to a stationary shoreobserver?
b) How far downstream from the initial position is theboat when it reaches the opposite shore?
