A man in a row boat must get from point A to point B on the opposite bank of the river (see figure). The distance\[BC=\text{ }a\]. The width of the river\[AC=b\]. At what minimum speed u relative to the still water should the boat travel to reach the point B? The velocity of flow of the river is \[{{v}_{0}}\]. |
| A. | \[\sqrt{{{\text{a}}^{2}}\text{+}{{\text{b}}^{2}}}/{{\text{v}}_{0}}\] |
| B. | \[\frac{{{\text{v}}_{0}}\text{b}}{\sqrt{{{\text{a}}^{2}}\text{+}{{\text{b}}^{2}}}}\] |
| C. | \[{{\text{v}}_{0}}\,\text{a/b}\] |
| D. | \[{{\text{v}}_{0}}\,\text{b/a}\] |
| Answer» C. \[{{\text{v}}_{0}}\,\text{a/b}\] | |
