## anonymous 3 years ago A motor boat is rising towards N at 25 Km/hr and the water current in that region is 10 km /hr in the direction of 60° east of south . Find the resultant velocity of the boat .

1. anonymous

@waterineyes you know this sum ?

2. anonymous

I don't...

3. anonymous

you know some one in open study who can help me ?

4. anonymous

5. anonymous

i sent him a msg .. no reply :/

6. anonymous

But he is online.. Let me try..

7. anonymous

okay !

8. anonymous

Which chapter is this ??

9. anonymous

motion in a plane.

10. anonymous

Yeah I think you will get help here..

11. anonymous

thanks waterineyes :)

12. anonymous

@rsadhvika do you know how to solve this ??

14. anonymous

Here A and B are the vectors.. A is representing the boat and B is representing Water...

15. anonymous

okay .. understood !

16. anonymous

Now We have to find Resultant first.. For that we first make our figure look like parallelogram..

17. anonymous

okay

18. anonymous

Wait I draw the figure more clearly for you..

19. anonymous

its okay .. i can understand :)

|dw:1344771963782:dw|

22. anonymous

is that the parellelogram we need ?

23. anonymous

Now make it look like parallelogram: |dw:1344771989674:dw| Getting this ??

24. anonymous

yeah got it !

25. anonymous

Now can you draw diagonal of the parallelogram ??

26. anonymous

|dw:1344772085729:dw|

27. anonymous

wrong ?

28. anonymous

Great.. This is the resultant of A and B vector..

29. anonymous

okay :)

30. anonymous

what is theta here ?

31. anonymous

You must mention the direction also..

32. anonymous

what direction ? direction of vector ?

33. anonymous

|dw:1344772213529:dw|

34. anonymous

okay !

35. anonymous

Since boat has higher velocity then boat will go in upward direction.. Getting ??

36. anonymous

yeah ..and if lower velocity , down ?

37. anonymous

Yeah that will depend upon velocity of water..

38. anonymous

okay !

39. anonymous

Have you studied about the formula: $Resultant (R)= \sqrt{A^2 + B^2 + 2AB \cos(\theta)}$

40. anonymous

yeah i have !

41. anonymous

Here A is just velocity of boat that is : 25 and B is just velocity of water that is : 10 But you have to find theta first.. Right ??

42. anonymous

yeah .. how do we find theta ?

43. anonymous

Theta is basically angle between the two vectors A and B.. Here what is the angle between A and B.. Can you locate on the drawing ??

44. anonymous

|dw:1344772636899:dw|

45. anonymous

i don't know !

46. anonymous

|dw:1344772698399:dw|

47. anonymous

That is the angle between A and the resultant.. We have to locate angle between A and B..

48. anonymous

Don't worry @ashna I draw it..

49. anonymous

okay !

50. anonymous

|dw:1344772809427:dw| Getting?? That is the angle between A and B..

51. anonymous

yeah !

52. anonymous

Can you find its value ??

53. anonymous

Make a try..

54. anonymous

180 - 60 ?

55. anonymous

120 ?

56. anonymous

Great.. A medal for you..

57. anonymous

:)

58. anonymous

Can you tell cos(120) = ??

59. anonymous

yea .. cos (90+30) - sin 30 - 1/2 correct ?

60. anonymous

I wish I could give you more medals.. Yes that is very correct.. Now can you use that formula ??

61. anonymous

okay i'll try !

62. anonymous

There is no need to go fast.. I can wait.. Just take your time and post your answer here..

63. anonymous

I think this site is going to be down soon..

64. anonymous

If my reply does not come @ashna then don't worry . Just post the answer or doubt here I will check it later on..

65. anonymous

What happened @ashna

66. anonymous

okay .. now i can type .. some net problem i guess.. sorry for the delay .. i got square root 475 !
