Homework Statement
A motorboat going downstream overcame a raft at a point A;
• = 60 min later it turned back and after some time passed the raft
at a distance l = 6.0 km from the point A. Find the flow velocity
assuming the duty of the engine to be constant.
Homework Equations
---------------------------------
The Attempt at a Solution
I assumed the stream velocity as v0 and the velocity of the motorboat with respect to water as v' . The motorboat reached point B while going downstream with velocity (v0 + v') and then returned with velocity (v' - v0) and passed the raft at point C . Then I assumed t to be the time for the raft to move from point A to C , during which the motorboatboat moves from A to B and then from B to C .
But after this I have no idea how to proceed .
