- On A Trip To India You Decide To Swim Directly Eastwards Across The Indian Ocean From Kanya Kumari To Vivekananda Rock 1 (25.61 KiB) Viewed 34 times
On a trip to India, you decide to swim directly eastwards across the Indian Ocean from Kanya Kumari to Vivekananda Rock (a distance of 450 m). Assume that (relative to the ground) the ocean current at that location has a fixed speed towards the south. You find that to proceed due east, you need to swim at an angle of 28° east of north, at a speed of 1.5 m/s relative to the water. What is the speed of the water relative to the ground? 1.6 m/s 1.3 m/s 0.70 m/s 1.5 m/s 1.8 m/s
