Physics

To find the displacement of the boat when it reaches the opposite bank, we need to consider both the perpendicular motion across the river and the downstream motion due to the current.

Width of the River (d): 60 m

Speed of the Boat (): 3 m/s (perpendicular to the riverbank)

Speed of the Current (): 4 m/s

Calculate the time to cross the river.

Calculate the downstream displacement due to the current.
