A river flows due south with a speed of 2.00m/s{\rm m}/{\rm s} . A man steers a motorboat across the river; his velocity relative to the water is 4.20m/s{\rm m}/{\rm s} due east. The river is 800m{\rm m} wide. Find the horizontal component of the book's velocity, just before the book reaches the floor.
