A boat goes 30km upstream and 44km downstream in 10hours. In 13hours, it can go 40km upstream and 55km downstream. Determine the speed of the stream and that of the boat in still water.
Answers
Answer:
Speed of stream = 3 km / hr.
Speed of boat in still water = 8 km / hr.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the speed of the boat in still water be a km / hr and stream be b km / hr
For upstream = a - b
For downstream = a + b
We know :
Speed = Distance / Time
Case 1 .
10 = 30 / a - b + 44 / a + b
Let 1 / a - b = x and 1 / a + b = y
30 x + 44 y = 10 ... ( i )
Case 2 .
13 = 40 / a - b + 55 / a + b
40 x + 55 y = 13 ... ( i )
Multiply by 4 in ( i ) and by 3 in ( ii )
120 x + 176 y = 40
120 x = 40 - 176 y ... ( iii )
120 x + 165 y = 39
120 = 39 - 165 y ... ( iv )
From ( iii ) and ( iv )
40 - 176 y = 39 - 165 y
11 y = 1
y = 1 / 11
120 x = 40 - 176 y
120 x = 40 - 176 / 11
x = 1 / 5
Now :
1 / a - b = 1 / 5
a - b = 5
a = 5 + b ... ( v )
1 / a + b = 1 / 11
a + b = 11
a = 11 - b ... ( vi )
From ( v ) and ( vi )
11 - b = 5 + b
2 b = 6
b = 3
a = 5 + b
a = 5 + 3
a = 8
Hence we get answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Thunderstorm, a violent short-lived weather disturbance that is almost always associated with lightning, thunder, dense clouds, heavy rain or hail, and strong gusty winds. Thunderstorms arise when layers of warm, moist air rise in a large, swift updraft to cooler regions of the atmosphere.
