In the 2016 Olympics in Rio, after the 50 m freestyle competition, a problem with the pool
Question:
In the 2016 Olympics in Rio, after the 50 m freestyle competition, a problem with the pool was found. In lane 1 there was a gentle 1.2 cm/s current flowing in the direction that the swimmers were going, while in lane 8 there was a current of the same speed but directed opposite to the swimmers’ direction. Suppose a swimmer could swim the 50 m in 25.0 s in the absence of any current. What would be her time in lane 1? In lane 8? How does the difference in these times compare to the actual 0.06 s difference in times between the gold medal winner and the fourth place finisher?
