8 B C 1 ms–1 50 m 3 ms–1 a A A man, who can row a boat at 3 ms−1 in still water, wants to cross a river from A to B as shown in the diagram. AB is perpendicular to both banks of the river. The river, which is 50 m wide, is flowing at 1 ms−1 in the direction shown. The man points his boat at an angle a° to the bank. Find (i) the angle a, [2] (ii) the resultant speed of the boat from A to B, [2] (iii) the time taken for the boat to travel from A to B. [2] On another occasion the man points the boat in the same direction but the river speed has increased to 1.8 ms−1 and as a result he lands at the point C. (iv) State the time taken for the boat to travel from A to C and hence find the distance BC. [2]
