Answer: 66.67 m, 44.44 s
Explanation:
Given
Velocity of flow is [tex]u=1.5\ m/s[/tex]
Mary can row with speed [tex]v=3.6\ m/s[/tex]
Width of the river [tex]y=160\ m[/tex]
Flow will drift the Mary towards east, while Mary boat will cause it to travel in North direction
time taken to cross river
[tex]\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{160}{3.6}\\\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{400}{9}\ s[/tex]
Flow will drift Mary by
[tex]\Rightarrow x=ut\\\\\Rightarrow x=1.5\times \dfrac{400}{9}\\\\\Rightarrow x=66.67\ m[/tex]
Velocity w.r.t shore is
[tex]\Rightarrow v_{net}=\sqrt{3.6^2+1.5^2}\\\Rightarrow v_{net}=\sqrt{15.21}\\\Rightarrow v_{net}=3.9\ m/s[/tex]
