(13) A swimmer at point A on one side of river wants toreach at a point B on the other side by swimming only.Line AB makes angle 30° with the river flow. Velocityof swimmer is equal to velocity of river flow in magni-tude. In what direction o with the line AB should hetry to swim to reach at B.1​

Answer»

Answer: theta= 30 degrees

Explanation: tan alpha=

A sin theta / B + A sin theta

Now, tan 30 =

Vsr sin theta/ VR + Vsr cos theta

1/root(3) = Vsr sin theta/ Vsr+ Vsr cos theta ( Vsr= Vr)

1/root 3 = sin theta/ 1+ cos theta

Tan theta/2 = tan 30

Theta = 60 degree

BETA= 60-30 = 30
