We are going to learn here How to Solve ‘Boat Crossing River’ Numerical Problems of PHYSICS as this is a common question of 2D motion in mechanics.
Solved Example 1:
Question: A boat is sent across a river at a velocity of 8 km per hour. The resultant velocity of the boat is 10 km per hour. Find the velocity of the river?
(a) 2 km/hr (b) 6 km/hr (c) 5 km/hr (d) 4 km/hr
