    You want to swim straight across a river that is 76 m wide. You find that you can do this if you swim at an angle of θ = 28° from the upstream direction at a constant rate of 1.5 m/s relative to the water. At what rate does the river flow? The angle θ is measured from the river bank (directly upstream is θ = 0° while directly across the river is θ = 90°).

    A swimmer heads directly across a river, swimming at her maximum speed of 1.60 m/s relative to the water. She arrives at a point 40.0 m downstream from the point directly across the river, 67.0 m wide. In what direction (as an angle relative to a direct line across the river) should the swimmer aim instead, so that she arrives at the point directly opposite her starting point?

    A 70 m wide river flows from north to south at a speed of 3.2 m/s. A swimmer swims relative to the water at a rate of 4.6 m/s aiming across the river at an angle of 24 degrees north of east. What is the speed of the swimmer with respect to the shore? How far downstream (south), from a point directly across the river, does the swimmer hit the shore?

    A 260 -m-wide river has a uniform flow speed of 1.5 m/s through a jungle and toward the east. An explorer wishes to leave a small clearing on the south bank and cross the river in a powerboat that moves at a constant speed of 3.6 m/s with respect to the water. There is a clearing on the north bank 66 m upstream from a point directly opposite the clearing on the south bank. (a) At what angle, measured relative...

    A river has a steady speed of 0.450 m/s. A student swims upstream a distance of 1.70 km and swims back to the starting point. If the student can swim at a speed of 1.40 m/s in still water, how long does the trip take swimming up and down in the current)? If the water were still, by how much would the trip be longer or shorter? (Give a negative answer for a shorter trip.)
