Question: You are going to go across the Mississippi river from East to West bank by rowing your kayak. You know you can row 3 m/s in still water. You discovered that river flows with a water speed of 2 m/s from North to South.

Part A: What direction should you aim at in order to go across the river in the shortest time?

Rework your solution for above question from the starting and check each step carefully.
