The speed of a swimmer in still water is $20 \; m/s$. The speed of river water is $10 \; m/s$ and is flowing due east. If he is standing on the south bank and wishes to cross the river along the shortest path,the angle at which he should make his strokes with respect to north is given by ......$^o$ west.

An airplane airspeed indicator reads $100 \, m/s$ and its compass shows that it is heading $37^{\circ}$ east of north. The meteorological information provided to the navigator is that the wind velocity is $20 \, m/s$ towards east. The speed of the airplane relative to the ground is closest to ............ $\, m/s$.

$A$ boat having a speed of $5 \, km/hr$ in still water crosses a river of width $1 \, km$ along the shortest possible path in $15 \, minutes$. Find the speed of the river in $km/hr$.

Two cars $A$ and $B$ are moving with the same speed of $45\,km/h$ along the same direction. If a third car $C$ coming from the opposite direction with a speed of $36\,km/h$ meets the two cars in an interval of $5\,min$,the distance of separation between the two cars $A$ and $B$ should be.......$km$.

$Assertion$ : The magnitude of velocity of two boats relative to the river is the same. Both boats start simultaneously from the same point on one bank and may reach the opposite bank simultaneously while moving along different paths.
$Reason$ : For boats to cross the river in the same time,the component of their velocity relative to the river in the direction normal to the flow should be the same.

$A$ river of width $200 \ m$ is flowing from west to east with a speed of $18 \ km/h$. $A$ boat,moving with a speed of $36 \ km/h$ in still water,is made to travel one round trip (bank to bank of the river). The minimum time taken by the boat for this journey and the displacement along the river bank are . . . . . . and . . . . . . respectively.
