Q.

The current velocity of river grows in proportion to the distance from its bank and reaches the maximum value v0 in the middle. Near the banks the velocity is zero. A oat is moving along the river in such a manner that the boatman rows his boat always perpendicular to the current. The speed of the boat in still water is u. Find the distance through which the boat crossing the river will be carried away by the current, if the width of the river is c. Also determine the trajectory of the boat.

Detailed Solution

Given that vbr=vy=dydt=u.......(i) 

|vr|=vx=dxdt=(2v0c)y......(ii)
From Eqs. (i) and (ii) we have, 

dydx=uc2v0y

The current velocity of river grows in proportion to the distance from its  bank and reaches the maximum value v_0 in the middle. Near the banks the  velocity is zero. A boat

or y2=ucxv0

At y=c2,x=cv04u
or xnet=2x=cv02u
