Dear student

Draw the vector triangle you would find 4 cos 60 = speed of river

Ie speed of river is 2 m/s

The speed of the river is 2 km/hr.

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity of swimmer = 4 km/hr

Angle = 120°

We need to draw a figure,

Here, is the velocity of swimmer w.r.to river, is the velocity of river w.r. to ground and V is the velocity of swimmer w.r.to ground.

Put the value in equation (I)

Hence, The speed of the river is 2 km/hr.

Three identical balls are placed on a frictionless horizontal surface touching each other. They stick to each other because of adhesive. Another ball of same radius and mass m is placed over the void created by the three balls. Find the forces applied by the balls kept on the floor to each other if the system remains in equilibrium.
