Multiple choice

A boat crosses a river at velocity $ \xrightarrow { v } $ (relative to water ) that is constant relative to water and perpendicular to the banks. the magnitude of the velocity $ \xrightarrow { V } $ is0.3 m/s . width of the river b=63 m. speed of the current varies according to the parabolic law. $ u\quad =u_{ 0 }-\dfrac { 4u_{ 0 } }{ b^{ 2 } } \left( x-\dfrac { b }{ 2 } \right) ^{ 2 } $ where x is distance from the banks and $ u_0 $ is constant equal to 5 //s. choose correct options.

  1. drift of the boat during the time it crosses the river is 1050 m.

  2. drift of the boat during the time it crosses the river is 700 m.

  3. time taken by the boat to crosses the river is 210 sec.

  4. time taken by the boat to crosses the river is 12.6 sec.
