Problem

In a river of width 500 m500\,\text{m}, a boat moves at 5 m/s5\,\text{m/s} relative to the water. The river flows at 3 m/s3\,\text{m/s}. The boat heads at an angle of 127∘127^{\circ} relative to the stream direction (downstream is 0∘0^{\circ}). Calculate how far downstream from the starting point the boat will land on the opposite bank.
