A boat travels from one bank of a river to the other. The
velocity of the boat with respect to river Vboat/river
is 16 m/s and this vector makes an angle θ =
0.87 radians with respect to the river bank. The river is 27 m
wide. (Note that the angle shown in not to scale.)
The boat crosses the river and reaches opposite shore at point
B. If the velocity of the river Vriver is 5 m/s in
the direction shown, find the distance d between A and
B.
