A man wishes to cross a river in a boat. If he crosses the river in minimum time, he takes 10 min with a drift of 120 m. If he crosses the river taking the shortest route, he takes 12.5 min. Find the velocity of the boat with respect to water.

A man can swim at a rate of 5 km h-1 in still water. A  1 km wide river flows at the rate of 3 km h-1. The man wishes to swim across the river directly opposite to the starting point.
(a) Along which direction must the man swim?
(b) What should be his resultant velocity?
(c) How much time will he take to cross the river?

A man wants to swim in a river from A to B and back from B to A always following line AB. The distance between points A and B is S. The velocity of the river current v is constant over the entire width of the river. The line AB makes an angle α with the direction of current. The man moves with velocity u at angle β to the line AB. The man swim to cover distance AB and back, find the time taken to complete the journey.

A standing man observes rain falling with the velocity of undefined at an angle of 30° with the vertical.
(a) Find the velocity with which the man should move so that rain appears to fall vertically to him.
(b) Now if he further increases his speed, rain again appears to fall at 30° with the vertical. Find his new velocity.
