Problem

A kayaker wants to cross a

120\,\text{m}

-wide river that flows east at

0.80\,\text{m/s}

. The kayaker can paddle at

2.0\,\text{m/s}

relative to the water and heads

30^{\circ}

west of north. Where will the kayaker reach the opposite bank relative to the point directly across from the launch position? a) About

14\,\text{m}

east of the point directly across b) About

69\,\text{m}

west of the point directly across c) About

14\,\text{m}

west of the point directly across d) About

55\,\text{m}

east of the point directly across
