A river is to be crossed by a girl using a row boat.
Assume that the water has uniform velocity, represented above by
the vector labeled H. The rowing speed of the girl and a set of
possible orientation of her boat are also shown. Select the
direction (i.e., F, or D, or ...) in order to cross the river in
the shortest time. (Notice that the number of tries is
reduced.)
For which rowing orientation will the girl land...
