1 1 New Additional Mathematics by Pan Pacific Publishing EXERCISE 24.2 (PAGE 549) QUESTION NO. 1 A river is flowing at 4 m/sec due south. A boat, whose speed in still water is 3 m/sec, is steered in the direction due east. Find the true speed and direction of the motion of the boat. SOLUTION VB = VB/W + VW Where θ V B/W = 3m/s VB is the true velocity of the boat V W = 4m/s VB/W is the velocity of the boat in still water V B and Vw is the velocity of the water By using Pythagoras theorem (VB) 2 = (VB/W) 2 + (VW) 2 (VB) 2 = = 25 VB Now = 5m/s Velocity Diagram tan θ = 4/3 θ = tan -1 (4/3) θ = 53.1 o Hence True velocity of the boat is 5m/s in the direction ( ) o OR True velocity of the boat is 5m/s by making an angle of 36.9 o with the bank downstream.
2 2 QUESTION NO. 2 A river is flowing at 3 m/sec due east. A speedboat, whose speed in still water is 5 m/sec, is steered in the direction on a bearing of 330 o. Find the resultant velocity of the speedboat. V W = 3m/s 60 O V B/W = 5m/s V B VB = VB/W + VW Where VB is the true velocity of the boat, 60 O x Velocity Diagram VB/W is the velocity of the boat in still water and Vw is the velocity of the water. EXPLANATION: (i) (ii) The boat which is steered in the direction of 330 o will move by making an angle of 60 o with the bank upstream as the bearing of upstream bank in this case is 270 o and hence 270 o + 60 o = 330 o. The angle between VB/W and VW = 60 o (alternate angles) CALCULATIONS: Applying cosine Rule in the velocity diagram triangle: VB 2 = (5)(3) cos60 o VB 2 = cos60 o VB 2 = = 19 VB = 4.36m/s
3 3 To find angle x, VB makes with the bank downstream, we will apply sine rule sinx /5 = sin60 o /4.36 x = 83.2 o Hence Velocity (true) of the boat is 4.36 m/s by making an angle of 83.2 o with the bank downstream. velocity (true) of the boat is 4.36 m/s in the direction o as ( = 6.8). OR QUESTION NO. 3 In the diagram, a river is flowing at a speed of 2.5 m/sec due east. A boat, whose speed in still water is 6 m/sec, is steered in the direction due north. Find the true velocity of the boat. SOLUTION V W = 2.5m/s V B/W = 6m/s V B VB = VB/W + VW θ Where Velocity Diagram VB is the true velocity of the boat, VB/W is the velocity of the boat in still water and Vw is the velocity of the water. CALCULATIONS: (VB) 2 = (VB/W) 2 + (VW) 2 (VB) 2 = VB = 6.5m/s
4 4 Now tan θ = 2.5/6 θ = tan -1 (2.5/6) θ = 22.6 o Hence Velocity (true) of the boat is 6.5 m/s by making an angle of 67.4 o with the bank downstream. QUESTION NO. 4 A soldier who swims at 1.2 m/sec in still water wishes to cross a river 20 m wide. The water is flowing between straight parallel banks at 1.8 m/sec. He swims upstream in a direction making an angle of 70 o with the bank. Find a) The resultant velocity b) The time taken for the crossing, to the nearest second. 20 m 70 O V W = 1.8m/s θ θ V B/W = 1.2m/s V B VB = VB/W + VW Where VB is the true velocity of the boat 70 O θ Velocity Diagram VB/W is the velocity of the boat in still water and Vw is the velocity of the water. a) Calculations for true velocity of the boat: Applying cosine Rule in the velocity diagram triangle: VB 2 = (1.2)(1.8) cos70 o VB = 1.79m/s
5 5 To find angle θ, VB makes with the bank downstream, we will apply sine rule sin θ /1.2 = sin 70 o /1.79 θ = 39.0 o Hence Velocity (true) of the boat is 1.79 m/s by making an angle of 39.0 o with the bank downstream. b) In this distance diagram, Θ =39.0 o we will find the component of distance along which VB is calculated. 20 m 20 d This is shown by a fold faced line here. It is the same line which is obtained by producing the line segment representing VB in Θ =39.0 o Distance Diagram Velocity Diagram. (Shown as a dotted line there) Now sin 39 o = 20/d d = 31.78m so time taken for crossing = 31.78/ sec.
6 6 ALTERNATIVE METHOD Time taken for crossing the river can also be calculated if we split VB into its horizontal and vertical components. The component of VB which makes the boat cross the river is VB sinθ. This is shown by a fold faced line in velocity component diagram (need not to be shown in the answer script) VB sin θ = 1.79 sin 39.0 = m/sec VB cosθ Θ =39.0 o so time taken for crossing = 20/ sec. 20 VB sinθ VB= 1.79 Velocity component diagram QUESTION NO. 5 The diagram shows a river, 30 m wide, flowing at a speed of 3.5 m/sec, between straight parallel banks. A boat, whose speed in still water is 6 m/sec, crosses the river from a point A on one bank to a point B on the opposite bank, 5 m upstream. In order to travel directly from A to B, the boat is steered in a direction making an angle α to the bank as shown. Find a) The value of α, b) The resultant speed of the boat, c) The time taken for the crossing, to the nearest second. In order to make the return journey from B to A, what is the course taken by the boat.
7 7 B 5 m B V w = 3.5m/s α 80.5 o x =80.5 o course 80.5 o y 99.5 o V B 30 m V B/w= 6m/sec V B/w = 6m/sec α Θ A 80.5o Vw = 3.5 m/sec A Velocity Diagram (Outward Journey) Velocity Diagram (Return Journey) VB = VB/W + VW Where VB is the true velocity of the boat, VB/W is the velocity of the boat in still water and Vw is the velocity of the water. To find x tan x = 30/5 x = tan -1 (6) = 80.5 o so the angle between VW and VB is 99.5 o. a) (sin θ) /3.5 = (sin 99.5 o )/6 θ = 35.1 o α = 180 o (99.5 o o ) = 45.4 o
8 8 b) (sin 45.4 o ) /VB = (sin 99.5)/6 VB = 4.33m/sec c) To find the time taken, we will find the distance to be covered along VB which is shown as a partially dotted line in the Velocity Diagram (Outward Journey). Distance to be covered = = 30.4 m Time taken = 30.4/ sec RETURN JOURNEY (sin 80.5 o ) /6 = (sin y)/3.5 y = 35.1 o Hence course taken by the boat in the return journey is 180 o (80.5 o o ) = 64.4 o with the bank upstream.
9 9 QUESTION NO. 6 The speed of an aircraft in still air is 300 km/h. The wind velocity is 60 km/h from the east. The aircraft is steered on the course in the direction 060 o. Find the true velocity of the aircraft SOLUTION 120 o N Vw = 60km/h VA/w = 300km/h 60 o Vw = 60km/h 30 o N VA VA/w = 300km/h 60 o θ In the diagram, vectors are added by the equation VA = VA / W + VW VA 2 = (300)(60) cos30 o VA = 250 km/h To find θ (sin θ) / 60 = (sin 30 o ) /250 Θ = 6.9 o Hence True velocity of the aircraft is 250 km/hr in the direction o.
10 10 QUESTION NO. 7 An aircraft flies due east from A to B where AB = 200 km. The wind is blowing from the direction 030 o at 60 km/h. The speed of the aircraft in still air is 300 km/h and the pilot sets the course on the bearing θ o. Find: a) the value of θ, b) the time taken, in minutes, for the journey from A to B. N A VA B B 30 0 V w = 60km/h θ x V A/w = 300km/h 90 o 30 o 50 o V w = 60km/h V A In the diagram, vectors are added by the equation VA = VA / W + VW a) (sin x) /60 = (sin 120 o )/300 x = 9.97 o 10 o Hence θ = 080 o b) (sin 50 o ) / VA = (sin 120 o )/300 VA = km/h Hence time taken, in minutes, for the journey from A to B = 200/ = hr 45 min
11 11 QUESTION NO. 8 a) An aircraft is flying due south at 350 km/h. The wind is blowing at 70 km/h from the direction θ o, where θ o is acute. Given that the pilot is steering the aircraft in the direction 170 o. Find i) the value of θ ii) the speed of the aircraft in still air. N N 170 o 170 o 10 o V A/W V A/W V A = 350 km/h θ V W = 70 km/h V A = 350 x Θ V W = 70 In the diagram, vectors are added by the equation VA = VA / W + VW a) (sin 10 o ) /70 = (sin x)/350 x = 60.3 o or o If θ is supposed to be acute, then x will be obtuse so x = o θ = 180 o (119.7 o + 10 o ) = 50.3 o b) (sin 50.3 o ) / V A/W = (sin 119.7)/350 VA/W = 310 km/h
12 12 b) A man who swims at 1.2 m/sec wishes to cross a river which is flowing between straight parallel banks at 2 m/sec. He aims downstream in a direction making an angle of 60o with the bank. Find: i) the speed at which he travels, ii) the angle which his resultant velocity makes with the bank. V W = 2m/s 120 o V M/W = 1.2m/s V M 60 o θ Velocity Diagram VM = VM/W + VW Where VM is the true velocity of the man; VM / W is the velocity of the man in still water and Vw is the velocity of the water. VM 2 = (1.2)(2) cos120 o VM = 2.8 m/s To find angle θ, VM makes with the bank downstream, we will apply sine rule sin θ /1.2 = sin 120 o /2.8 θ = 21.8 o Hence Velocity (true) of the boat is 2.8 m/s by making an angle of 21.8 o with the bank downstream.
13 13 QUESTION NO. 9 The diagram shows a river, 160 m wide, flowing at a speed of 2.4 m/sec, between straight parallel banks. A boat crosses the river from a point A on one bank to a point B on the opposite bank, 120 m downstream. The speed of the boat in still water is 5.6 m/sec. In order to travel directly from A to B, the boat is steered in a direction making an angle of α to the bank as shown. Find a) the value of α b) the resultant speed of the boat c) the time taken for the crossing The boat then makes the return journey from B to A. Find the resultant speed of the boat on this return journey. C 120 m B C 120 m B Θ= 53.1 o Θ= 53.1 o V B/w = 5.6 m/sec y Vw = 2.4 m/sec V B o θ 33.1 o o 160 m 160 m Vw = 2.4 θ = 53.1 o V B/w = 5.6 m/sec V B x θ α Θ= 53.1 o Velocity Diagram (Outward Journey) Velocity Diagram (Return Journey) VB = VB/W + VW Where VB is the true velocity of the boat, VB/W is the velocity of the boat in still water and Vw is the velocity of the water.
14 14 a) AC = 160 m and BC = 120 m tan θ = 160/120 θ = 53.1 o (sin x) /2.4 = (sin 53.1 o )/5.6 x = 20 o α = 53.1 o + 20 o = 73.1 o b) (sin o ) /VB = (sin 53.1 o )/5.6 (θ = 53.1 o ) VB = 6.7 m/sec c) AB = = 200 m Time taken for crossing = 200/6.7 = 29.8 m/sec RETURN JOURNEY (sin y) /2.4 = (sin o )/5.6 y = 20 o (sin 33.1 o ) /VB = (sin o )/5.6 VB = 3.82 m/sec

Find: a) the speed and direction of P relative to Q, b) the distance apart, in meters, when P is due north of Q. In the velocity diagram, if the vectors representing VP and VQ are produced, the angle between them will be 30 o. VP = VP/Q + VQ Where VP is the velocity of the ship P, VP/Q is the velocity of the ship P relative to the ship Q and VQ is the velocity of the ship Q. V Q = 10 km/h 30 o V P = 25 km/h VP/Q 2 = (25)(10) cos30 o VP/Q 2 = (0.866) VP/Q 2 = 292 VP/Q = 17.1 km/h (sin θ) /10 = (sin 30 o )/17.1 θ = 17 o so x = 30 o 17.0 o = 13.0 o V P/Q x θ Hence velocity of P relative to Q is 17.1 km/h with an angle of 13.0 o with the initial line PQ. ii) To find the distance P and Q when P is due north of Q, we will stop the ship Q at its initial position and move the ship P with the relative speed VP/Q tan 13.0 o =d/5 d d = 5tan 13.0 o = km = 1154 m 13.0 o Hence distance apart, when P is due north of Q = 1154 m.

N P V P = 3m/s V P = 3m/s 30 o V Q/P 2 km θ V Q = 4m/s Q V Q = 4m/s 60 o Velocity diagram In the velocity diagram, if the vectors representing VP and VQ are produced, the angle between them will be 30 o. VQ = VQ/P + VP Where VP is the velocity of the boat P, VQ/P is the velocity of the boat Q relative to the boat P and VQ is the velocity of the boat Q. VQ/P 2 = (3)(4) cos30 o VQ/P 2 = 25 24(0.866) VQ/P = 2.05 m/s (sin θ) /3 = (sin 30 o )/2.05 θ = 47.0 o so direction of VQ/P = 60 o 47.0 o = o Hence velocity of Q relative to P is 2.05 m/s in the direction o. ii) To find the distance P and Q when Q is due east of P, we will stop boat P at its initial position and move boat Q with the relative speed VQ/P. P Q tan 13 o = PQ /2 PQ = 2 tan 13 o = km = 462 m 2 km Hence the distance apart, in meters, when Q is due east of P = 462 m 13 o Q
19 19 QUESTION NO. 4 At a particular moment, two ships A and B are 5 km apart with A due west of B. Ship A is sailing due south at 5 km/h and ship B is sailing due west at 8 km/h. Find a) the velocity of A relative to B, b) the distance between the two ships when A is on the bearing of 225 o from B. A 5 km B V B = 8 km/h θ V A = 5 km/h V A = 5 km/h V A/B VA = VA/ B + VB V B = 8 km/h Where VA is the velocity of the ship A, VA/B is the velocity of the ship A relative to the ship B and VB is the velocity of the ship B. VA/ B = VA/ B = 9.43 km/h tan θ = 8/5 θ = 58.0 o Hence velocity of A relative to B is 9.43 km/h in the direction o. ii) To find the distance the two ships when A is on the bearing of 225 o from B, we will stop ship B at its initial position and move ship A with the relative speed VA/B. N As A 5 km B As VA/B is making an angle of 58.0 with vertical so it makes an angle of 32.0 with the horizontal which is shown in the diagram. X = 180 o (32 o + 45 o ) = 103 o 32.0 o 45 o 225 o x (sin 103 o ) /5 = (sin 32 o )/BA A BA = 2.72 km Hence the distance between the two ships when A is on the bearing of 225 o from B = 2.72 km.

24 24 DESCRIPTION: (Not to be written in the paper) In the question like this, the vector are added in such a way that the head of VB and VA will coincide, the tails of VB and VB/A will meet and VB/A and VA will be added by head to tail rule. The angle between VB and VA will be calculated by producing the initial line segments (vectors) in the initial diagram. In this case it is 180 o - (105 o + 15 o ) = 60 o. While working on the velocity diagram, it must be taken into account that the lengths of line segments representing different vectors should be proportionate to the original length. For example; If VB = 20 and VA = 10, then the line segment for VB should be approximately double of VA. CALCULATIONS: Applying cosine Rule in the velocity diagram triangle: VB/A 2 = (20)(10) cos60 o VB/A = 17.3m/s The angle between VB/A and VB will be taken as θ. A part of θ is 15 o which is the original direction of VB. sin θ/10 = sin 60 o /17.3 θ = 30 o So the direction of VB/A will be 360 o 15 o = 345 o. Hence the velocity of B relative to A is 17.3 m/sec in the direction 345 o. ii) THE TIME TAKEN FOR B TO BE DUE WEST OF A. To find the distance between B and A when B is due west of A, we will consider VB/A, which explains that A is kept at its initial position and its effect of speed and direction is transferred to B. This is real explanation of VB/A.
25 25 cos 15 o = 50/BB B A BB = 50 / cos15 o BB = m 50 m Hence time taken for B to be due west of A = 51.76/VB/A = 51.76/ o = 2.99 sec B b) IN CASE OF COLLISION In case of collision, the direction of the VB/A will be towards original direction BA. N V A = 10 m/s N 105 o V A = 10 m/s 105 o V B/A V B = V 50 m V B = V 15 o 15 o Original diagram Velocity Diagram (i) VB = VB/A + VA sin 105 o /V = sin 15 o /10 V = 37.3 m/sec
26 26 ii) sin 105 o /37.3 = sin 60 o /VB/A VB/A = 33.4 m/sec time taken for B to collide with A = 50/33.4 = 1.5 sec

So in this case P and Q will not meet.

At 0600 hours the liner, which is 90 km from a lifeboat and on a bearing of 315 from the lifeboat, sends a message for assistance.
