Q. The flow velocity of a river increases linearly with the distance (r) from its bank and has its maximum value

v_{0}

in the middle of the river. The velocity near the bank is zero. A boat which can move with speed u in still water moves in the river in such a way that it is always perpendicular to the flow of current. Find

Q. A swimmer who can swim in a river with speed

α V

(with respect to still water) where

V

is the velocity of river current, jumps into the river from one bank to cross the river.

Q. A boat crossing a river moves with a velocity
