Determine the velocity of the boat

Reference no: EM13339057

A river flows due east at 1.34 m/s. A boat crosses the river from the south shore to the north shore by maintaining a constant velocity of 9.8 m/s due north relative to the water.

(a) What is the velocity of the boat as viewed by an observer on the shore?

(b) If the river is 352 m wide, how far downstream is the boat when it reaches the north shore?
