A motorboat covers a given distance in 6 hours


Asked by admin @ in Physics viewed by 309 People


A motorboat covers a given distance in 6 hrs moving downstream on a river. it covers the same distances in 10 hrs moving upstream the time it takes to cover the same distance in still water

Answered by admin @



Answer:

Let speed of boat be v


Speed of stream is =X


Upstream speed=v-x


Downstream speed=v+X


Distance upstream=distance downstream


10(v-x)=6(v+X)


V=4x


Distance=6(v+X)=6(5/4*v)=7.5v


Time in still water=7.5v/v=7.5hours
