$A$ man is crossing a river flowing with a velocity of $5 \ m/s$. He reaches a point directly across at a distance of $60 \ m$ in $5 \ s$. His velocity in still water should be: (in $m/s$)

  • A
    $12$
  • B
    $13$
  • C
    $5$

$A$ man walking briskly in rain with speed $v$ must slant his umbrella forward making an angle $\theta$ with the vertical. $A$ student derives the following relation between $\theta$ and $v: \tan \theta = v$ and checks that the relation has a correct limit: as $v \rightarrow 0, \theta \rightarrow 0,$ as expected. (We are assuming there is no strong wind and that the rain falls vertically for a stationary man). Do you think this relation can be correct? If not,guess the correct relation.

$A$ man can swim with a speed of $4.0 \; km/h$ in still water. How long does he take to cross a river $1.0 \; km$ wide if the river flows steadily at $3.0 \; km/h$ and he makes his strokes normal to the river current? How far down the river does he go when he reaches the other bank?

Two particles $A$ and $B$ move with constant velocities $\vec{v}_1$ and $\vec{v}_2$. At the initial moment,their position vectors are $\vec{r}_1$ and $\vec{r}_2$ respectively. The condition for particles $A$ and $B$ to collide is:

$A$ person is swimming with a speed of $10\, m/s$ at an angle of $120^{\circ}$ with the flow of the river and reaches a point directly opposite on the other side. If the speed of the river flow is $x\, m/s$,find the value of $x$ to the nearest integer.
