Please Note: It may not always be possible to include the necessary special characters, superscripts, subscripts, etc. in e-mail responses to this group of exercises. We suggest that you discuss this matter with your professor/class and decide upon a system for indicating such characters. You may cut/paste some characters and/or Greek letters from Microsoft Word, using the Insert menu. Alternatively, we suggest that you agree upon abbreviations for or spell out symbols, Greek letters, or characters and indicate superscripts and subscripts by using "sup", "sub", or up/down carats.

A girl can row a boat 2.20 m/s in still water. She wishes to cross a 100 m wide river at a point where the flow rate is 1.50 m/s. If she keeps the boat headed straight across, determine the following:

30
The time it takes her to get across the river
31
The distance down stream where she lands
32
Her velocity relative to the ground while she is crossing the river

If she wants to land directly across the river from her starting position, determine the following:

33
Heading of the boat as she crosses the river
34
Her velocity relative to the ground while she is crossing the river
