Answer:
t = 180 / 1.4 = 129 sec (time to swim horizontally across river)
S = 129 sec * V where V is speed of current and S is the distance he will be carried downstream
The problem does not specify V the speed of the river
Answer:
Explanation:
From the given information:
a) the distance(D) showing how dar downstream he will land can be computed as follows:
Assuming the current of the river = 0.2 m/s
[tex]D = \dfrac{180 \ m \times 0.2 \ m/s}{1.4 \ m/s}[/tex]
D = 36 m ÷ 1.4
D = 25.71 m
The required time (t) to reach the other side is:
time (t) = 180 m/ 1.4 m/s
time (t) = 128.57 seconds
