Problem

A boat can travel at 10 m/s10\,\text{m/s} in still water. The river flows at 6 m/s6\,\text{m/s}. The boat driver steers at an angle of 37∘37^{\circ} upstream from the line perpendicular the bank (i.e., angle with bank is 53∘53^{\circ}). If the river is 400 m400\,\text{m} wide, calculate the time taken to cross the river.
