The river flows SOUTH at a speed of 18ms realtive to the.

A boat begins at point a and heads straight. We choose a coordinate system with the origin at the initial position of the boat as shown in the Figure above. CG Sandy Straits 0700 - 1800 7 days 88-90 16-82 ph 4129 8141. Let uv and represent the velocities of the river and the boat respectively.

B Find the bearing of B from A correct to the nearest degree. Clearly ui 10cos 10sin 5 and since the speed of the boat is 10 mih we have v 10 so v i j TT where the angle T. For Questions 7 and 8.

A boat in the river travels at 300 ms relative to the water. A boat begins at point A and heads straight across a 60-meter wide river with a speed of 4 ms relative to the water. The river water flows north at a speed of 3 ms relative to the shore.

Scroll down to find the speed of the boat relative to land. Because of the 2 ms river current the boat lands on the opposite shore at point C. Alongside the water he noted natural wonders like mountains and the water itself.

On a balanced sailboat the center of effort should align vertically with the center of lateral resistance. Since that line has slope 2t15 we can determine equation of line using point-slope formula. The boat does not move in the direction in which it is pointed.

Y mx-x0 y0. A current of a river flows steadily from west to east at 100 ms. The opposite maneuver to tacking is called jibing or wearing on square-rigged ships that is turning the stern through the wind.
