area under this curve gives the
distance traveled
here, distance = 5 + 105 = 110m
time taken by A to reach from pt. P to ground = time taken by B to reach ground

t
= velocity of man in still water
since there is no component of
velocity of the river perpendicular to
the flow of river, hence, it is only the
swimmer whose velocity helps in
crossing the river
drift cannot be
when
zero
instead of river, we have wind and instead of boat/swimmer
we have aeroplane

velocity
perpendicular
to AB must be
zero for the plane
to reach B

15m
(the most symmetric point
of the triangle)

we could have done without calculus too


as velocity of approach is constant, hence, we have to cover a
separation of l with that const. velocity
hence, t = l/Vapp.
velocity

only responsible for


changing the direction
since speed remains
constant

only at initial instant


at some other time,
the acceleration will
be different

here, x means

here, x means the separation b/w
