प्रश्न
A swimmer wishes to cross a 500 m wide river flowing at 5 km/h. His speed with respect to water is 3 km/h. Find the shortest possible time to cross the river.

उत्तर
Shortest possible time to cover the river:
Take θ = 90∘
\[\text{ Time } = \frac{0 . 5}{3\sin\theta} h = \frac{500 \times 6}{5\sin\theta} = \frac{600}{\sin90^\circ} s = 600 s\]
Hence, the required time is 10 minutes.

Two friends A and B are standing a distance x apart in an open field and wind is blowing from A to B. A beat a drum and B hears the sound t1 time after he sees the event. A and B interchange their positions and the experiment is repeated. This time B hears the drum timer after he sees the event. Calculate the velocity of sound in still air v and the velocity of wind u. Neglect the time light takes in travelling between the friends.
Suppose A and B in the previous problem change their positions in such a way that the line joining them becomes perpendicular to the direction of wind while maintaining the separation x. What will be the time B finds between seeing and hearing the drum beating by A?
