Wind is blowing in the north direction at a speed of $2 \, m/s$,which causes the rain to fall at some angle with the vertical. With what velocity should a cyclist drive so that the rain appears vertical to him?

$A$ boat covers a certain distance between two spots in a river taking $t_1$ hours going downstream and $t_2$ hours going upstream. What time will be taken by the boat to cover the same distance in still water?

Two girls are standing at the ends $A$ and $B$ of a ground where $AB = b$. The girl at $B$ starts running in a direction perpendicular to $AB$ with velocity $V_1$. The girl at $A$ starts running simultaneously with velocity $V_2$ and meets the other girl in the shortest possible time $t$. The value of $t$ is:

Two parallel rail tracks run north-south. Train $A$ moves north with a speed of $54\; km\; h^{-1},$ and train $B$ moves south with a speed of $90\; km\; h^{-1}.$ What is the velocity (in $m\; s^{-1}$) of a monkey running on the roof of the train $A$ against its motion (with a velocity of $18\; km\; h^{-1}$ with respect to the train $A$) as observed by a man standing on the ground?

The speed of a swimmer is $4\,km\,h^{-1}$ in still water. If the swimmer makes his strokes normal to the flow of a river of width $1\,km$,he reaches a point $750\,m$ downstream on the opposite bank. The speed of the river water is $.........\,km\,h^{-1}$.

$A$ 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 ........ $m/s$.
