Tanishq crosses the river!
Classical Mechanics
Level
4
The velocity of water current varies as
\(\large \begin{cases} {v= (\frac{1}{25})y, ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~y \leq 250m} \\ {v= 20- (\frac{1}{25})y, ~~~~~~~~~~~~~y>250m} \end{cases} \)
where \(y\) is the distance from one bank. The width of the river is \(500m\). If Tanishq is crossing the river with constant velocity \(5m/s\) relative to water and perpendicular to the current, Find the drift of Tanishq in meters.
