Question

A boat is sent across a river with a velocity of 8 km hr − 1 . If the resultant velocity of the boat is 10 km hr − 1 , then the velocity of the river is, 12 . 8 km h − 1, 6 km h − 1, 8 km h − 1, 10 km h − 1

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

Let the velocity of the river = v → R ∴ | v → boat | = 8 km h − 1 v → b R = v → b − v → R v → b = v → b R + v → R ∵ v → b R ⊥ v → R v b = v b R 2 + v R 2 v b 2 = v b R 2 + v R 2 ( 10 ) 2 = ( 8 ) 2 + v R 2 v R = 6 k m h - 1
