The speed of boat in still water is 30km/h . a boat travels for 3 hrs downstream and then returns the same distance upstream in 5 hrs . find the speed of stream .

➹ Speed of Boat in still water = 15 km/Hr

✦ The boat's speed in still water is 30 km/h. A boat travels for 3 HOURS downstream and then returns the same distance upstream in 5 hours

✦ Find the speed of boat in still water.

➹ Firstly,

we consider ,

speed of stream = S Km/Hr

As according to the given :-

On putting the given values in , we get

The boat's speed in still water is 30 km/h. A boat travels for 3 hours downstream and then returns the same distance upstream in 5 hours therefore, let the speed of the stream be X, Downstream speed =(x+2)km/h

Upstream speed =(x-2)km/h

ATQ - - -

3(x+2)=5(x-2)

3x+6=5x-10

-2x=16

x=8

The speed of the stream is 8km/h

★ What is Displacement ?

✾ The word displacement implies that an object has moved, or has been displaced. Displacement is defined to be the change in position of an object.

★ How to calculate Displacement ?

✾ Displacement can be calculated by measuring the final distance away from a point, and then subtracting the initial distance. Displacement is key when DETERMINING velocity (which is also a vector). Velocity = displacement/time whereas speed is distance/time.

★ What is Velocity ?

✾ The velocity of an object is the rate of change of its position with respect to a frame of reference, and is a function of time.

Velocity DEFINES the direction of the movement of the body or the object.
