Mr. Testa and Mr. Brinkworth have a race from Parliament Hill to a point directly across the Ottawa River. At this location, the river has a width of 448 m and the current flows with a speed of 1.1 m/s. Mr. Brinkworth can swim in still water with a speed of 2.8 m/s and he can run with a speed of 2.4 m/s. Mr Testa can swim with a speed of 2.7 m/s in still water and he can run with a speed of 4.0 m/s. If Mr. Testa aims directly across to the finish, and Mr. Brinkworth swims directly across to the finish, by how much time does the winner beat the loser?

A swimmer, capable of swimming at a speed of 1.02 m/s in still water (i.e., the swimmer can swim with a speed of 1.02 m/s relative to the water), starts to swim directly across a 2.96-km-wide river. However, the current is 0.550 m/s, and it carries the swimmer downstream. (a) How long does it take the swimmer to cross the river? (b) How far downstream will the swimmer be upon reaching the other side of the river?

macmilan learming You are a member of a production crew filming a nature explorer in the Rocky Mountains. The explorer needs to swim across a river to his campsite. By watching debris flowing down the river, you estimate that the stream is flowing at 0.625 m / s. In still water, he can swim at 0.775 m/s. At what angle, less than 90°, with respect to the shoreline would you advise him to swim to travel directly across the stream...
