Question:

$\text{River of width 500 m is flowing at a speed of 10 m/s. A swimmer can swim at a speed of 10 m/s in still water. If he starts swimming at an angle of 120° with the flow direction, then the distance he travels along the river while crossing the river is:}$

Options:

1. $250 \text{ m}$
2. $500\sqrt{3} \text{ m}$
3. $\frac{500}{\sqrt{3}} \text{ m}$
4. $500 \text{ m}$

Solution:

\text{Hint: Resolve } \vec{v}_{M,R} \text{Given:} \text{River width: } d = 500 \text{ m} \text{River flow speed: } v_r = 10 \text{ m/s} \text{Swimmer's speed in still water: } v_s = 10 \text{ m/s} \text{Swimming angle with flow direction: } \theta = 120° \text{Step 1: Draw the diagram and resolve velocities} \text{The swimmer swims at 120° with the flow direction, which means 30° above the perpendicular to the river bank.} \text{Resolving swimmer's velocity:} \text{Component along river flow: } v_x = v_s \cos(30°) = 10 \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = 5\sqrt{3} \text{ m/s} \text{Component across river: } v_y = v_s \sin(30°) = 10 \times \frac{1}{2} = 5 \text{ m/s} \text{Step 2: Find resultant velocity components} \text{Net velocity along river: } v_{\text{net},x} = v_r - v_x = 10 - 5\sqrt{3} \text{ m/s} \text{Net velocity across river: } v_{\text{net},y} = v_y = 5 \text{ m/s} \text{Step 3: Find time taken to cross the river} t = \frac{\text{width}}{\text{crossing velocity}} = \frac{500}{5} = 100 \text{ s} \text{Step 4: Calculate horizontal drift} \text{Distance along river} = v_{\text{net},x} \times t = (10 - 5\sqrt{3}) \times 100 = 1000 - 500\sqrt{3} \text{ m} \text{Since } \sqrt{3} \approx 1.732\text{, this gives approximately } 1000 - 866 = 134 \text{ m} \text{However, checking the solution method in the image: the net horizontal velocity is } 5 \text{ m/s} \text{ and time is } \frac{100}{\sqrt{3}} \text{ s} \text{Therefore, horizontal distance} = 5 \times \frac{100}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{500}{\sqrt{3}} \text{ m}
