Determine the time it takes for boat to reach opposite shore

Reference no: EM13681566

You are riding in a boat whose speed relative to the water is 4.9 meter per second. The boat points at an angle of 26.5 degree upstream on a river flowing at 15.5 meter per second. Determine the time it takes for the boat to reach the opposite shore if the river is 26 meter wide.
