What is the true velocity of the surfer

Reference no: EM13296366

A surfer is zipping northeast across the river with a velocity of 10 m/s relative to the water. The river current is moving the water north at a velocity of 3 m/s downstream. If the angle between the relative velocity of the surfboard and the river current is 30 deg, what is the true velocity of the surfer?
