A child in danger of drowning in a river is being carried down-stream by a current that flows uniformly with a speed of 2.20 m/s . The child is 500 m from the shore and 2800 m upstream of the boat dock from which the rescue team sets out.
If their boat speed is 7.10 m/s with respect to the water, at what angle from the shore must the boat travel in order to reach the child?
Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
