Homework Statement
A tugboat releases a barge and continues down the river for t = 64 min. Then it returns and finds the barge 3.9 km downstream from its initial position. Assuming that the speed of the tugboat was constant with respect to the water, the speed of the river is (in km/h)
Homework Equations
Relative Velocity ~~~
I think Vtw = Vtb + Vbw
tugboat wrt water (tw)
tugboat wrt barge (vb)
barge wrt water (bw)
The Attempt at a Solution
I thought the speed of the river would be velocity of barge wrt water?
except even that was true...i have no idea what to do with the information given
Looking for anything to point me in a starting direction. Not really sure where to start.
