A man can swim with a speed of 4.0 km/h in still water. How long does he take to cross a river 1.0 km wide if the river flows steadily at 3.0 km/h and he makes his strokes normal to the river current? How far down the river does he go when he reaches the other bank?

Speed of the man,
vm = 4 km/h
Width of the river = 1 km
Time taken to cross the river
= Width of the river/ speed of the river
= 1/4 h
=15 min
Speed of the river, vr = 3 km/h
Distance covered with flow of the river = vr × t
= 3× 1/4 = 3/4 km
= 3/4 × 1000 = 750 m
Distance covered with flow of the river = vr × t
I hope, this will help you
