A helicopter takes off along the vertical with an acceleration of 3 m s-2 & zero initial velocity. In a certain time, the pilot switches off the engine. At the point of take-off, the sound dies away in 30 s. Determine the velocity of the helicopter at the moment when its engine is switched off, assuming the velocity of sound is 320 m s-1.

Two swimmers start a race. One who reaches the point C first on the other bank wins the race. A makes his strokes in a direction of 37° to the river flow with velocity 5kmhr-1 relative to water. B makes his strokes in a direction 127° to the river flow with same relative velocity. River is flowing with speed of 2 kmhr-1 and is 100m wide. Who will win the race? Compute the time taken by A and B to reach the point C if the speed of A and B on the ground are 8 kmhr-1 and 6 kmhr-1 respectively.

A swimmer starts to swim from point A to cross a river. He wants to reach point B on the opposite side of the river. The line AB makes an angle 60° with the river flow as shown. The velocity of the swimmer in still water is same as that of the water

Question Image

 (i) In what direction should he try to direct his velocity? Calculate angle between his velocity and river velocity.

(ii) Find the ratio of the time taken to cross the river in this situation to the minimum time in which he can cross this river.
