CHON (C) RELATIVE MOTION IN RIVER FLOWA boat, which has a speed of 5 km/h in still water, crosses a river of width 1 km along the shortest possiblepath in 15 minutes. The velocity of the river water in km/h is(A) 1(B) 3(C) 4(D) v41

Answer»

let the velocity of the river be x. the velocity of the river will be in the horizontal direction

velocity of boat in still water is 5km/hr. As the width of the river is 1 km and time taken by the boat to cross the river along the shortest path is 15 min therefore the velocity of the boat is= 1*60/15= 4km/hr

according to the figure the velocity of the river is along AB . By applying triangle law of vector addition the value of AB comes to be 3km/hr

Pls give an screenshot of the ans
