a boat moves from p to q (downstream) in 2.5 h and from q to p (upstream) in 5 h respectively when the engie is producing maximum speed on the boat in each case . if due to increased water flow the speed of flow of the river gets doubled how long will it take the boat(moving with possible speed) to move from (a) p to q (downstream) (b) q to p (upstream)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is (a) 2h (b) 10h can anybody give me the steps plz...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Downstream \[L=Vr.t=(Vmax+vriver).t\] Upstream \[L=V'r.t'=(Vmax-vriver).t'\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

solve it and then put v river times two

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

he said the vriver has doubled

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u give the eq plzz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok wait

OpenStudy (anonymous):

vmax = 3s/10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that answer correct...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[vmax=3.vriver\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh....no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

after finding v max should we find speer of river???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[L=(Vmax+vriver).2,5=(3.vriver+vriver).2.5=4.vriver.2.5\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now we doubled v river \[L=(Vmax+2.vriver).t=(3.vriver+2vriver).t=4.vriver.2.5\] so t= 2h

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no idea !!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what you dont get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

L=(Vmax+2.vriver).t=(3.vriver+2vriver).t=4.vriver.2.5 ???????????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here we find L as a function of vriver \[L=(Vmax+vriver).2,5=(3.vriver+vriver).2.5=4.vriver.2.5\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plzz help ????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i 'll take a picture for you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok
