A swimmer is able to swim at a speed of 0.92 m/s in still water. (a) How long does it take the swimmer to go a distance of 1590 m in still water? Call this time t1.(b) The swimmer then decides to swim the same distance in a river having a current with a speed of 0.53 m/s. How long does this take if she swims with the current? Call this time t2. (c) How long does it take her to swim the same distance against the current? Call this time t3.
