a ferry is crossing a river. If the ferry is headed due north with a speed of 2.5 meters per second relative to the water and the river's velocity is 3 meters per second to the east, what will the boat's velocity be relative to earth?

X = hor. = 3m/s.
Y = ver. = 2.5m/s.

tanA = Y / X = 2.5 / 3 = 0.8333,
A = 39.8 deg.

Vb = X / cosA = 3 / cos39.8 = 3.9m/s.
@ 39.8 deg.
Vfw=√(Vfr)²+(Vwr)²
Vfw=√(2.5)²+(3)²
=15.25 m/s
θ=tan^-1(2.5/3)=40°
Vfw=15.25 @ 40°
Vfw=√(Vfr)²+(Vwr)²
Vfw=√(2.5)²+(3)²
=3.9m/s
θ=tan^-1(2.5/3)=40°
Vfw=13.9 @ 40°
Vfw=√(Vfr)²+(Vwr)²
Vfw=√(2.5)²+(3)²
=3.9m/s
θ=tan^-1(2.5/3)=40°
Vfw=3.9 @ 40°
V= 7.9>67= 8549°

No one from my class discovered this procedure, just one student and got a A+ (10) for his grade, it's a dificult excercise but just try this way and you would got a A+
