Answer»

hat,Speed of swimmer in STILL WATER is 1.65 m/sWidth of river is 180 mSpeed of river is 0.85 m/sTo find,How far downstream (from a POINT opposite her starting point) will she reach?SOLUTION,If t is the time taken by the swimmer to cross the river is calculated as :Let x is the distance from a point opposite her starting point. It is calculated by the PRODUCT of speed of river and time taken to cross the river.So, she will reach 92.65 m downstream.
