I think velocity of boat w.r.t ground should be equal to velocity of boat w.r.t to water + velocity of water.<BR/><BR/>Is that what you are calling net drift w.r.t stationary observer?<BR/><BR/>BTW what kind of tool do you use to create these answers? The reason I ask is that most of the math shown are in form of images.<BR/><BR/>Thanks once again.I love Physicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05228342291470915741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5997147895880585179.post-82135621097546583882008-06-28T08:29:00.000+05:302008-06-28T08:29:00.000+05:30Ans 1. since sin@ is always less than 1, and V (bo...Ans 1. since sin@ is always less than 1, and V (boat velocity) is less than u (river velocity), Vsin@ will always be less than u. So drift cannot be avoided. This is explained in the first few lines of the solution.<BR/><BR/>Ans 2. In the solution v is velocity of the boat relative to the water and the velocity of the water is u, this is why the net drift w.r.t stationary frame of reference is u-vcos@.<BR/><BR/>I hope this clarifies your questions.<BR/> -krishnaKrishna Kant Chintalapudihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07024636005277277405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5997147895880585179.post-38770529112862966682008-06-28T08:15:00.000+05:302008-06-28T08:15:00.000+05:30Hi KrishnaThanks for the solution, but I have few ...Hi Krishna<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the solution, but I have few questions.<BR/><BR/>1. Why do you think there will be a drift even though the boat has velocity component Vsin@. I mean Vsin@ can be such that it is equal to velocity of water.<BR/><BR/>2. The question says that "A boat moves relative to the water with a velocity which is n=2 times less than the river flow velocity". This means that if river speed (with respect to the ground) is V, then the speed of the boat (with respect to the water) is V/n. But I don't see that the solution resolves this ratio in terms of velocities w.r.t ground.I love Physicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05228342291470915741noreply@blogger.com
