You wish to pilot a small boat across a rapidly owing river as shown in the diagram. h-ooououoooco l The river is D = 50 m across and flows in the +xdirection (from left to right) with a velocity of vn-VE, = 2 m/s. The dock is directly opposite your current position as shown. In what direction do you point your boat to reach the clock? (a) Straight Across (b) Upstream (c) Downstream You choose to point your boat straight across the river in the +ydirection. You know your boat travels at 6 m/s in still water. At what distance L from the dock will you make landfall? (a) L = 16.67 m, downstream (b) L = 50 m, upstream (c) L = 0 m, straight across from the starting point (d) L = 50 m, downstream (e) L = 16.67 m, upstream
