A swimmer capable of swimming at a speed of 12 ms in still


Compute all parts of given question:

Question: A swimmer, capable of swimming at a speed of 1.2 m/s in still water (i.e., the swimmer can swim with a speed of 1.2 m/s relative to the water), starts to swim directly across a 2.9-km-wide river. However, the current is 0.91 m/s, and it carries the swimmer downstream.

Part A: How long does it take the swimmer to cross the river?

(in seconds)

Part B: How far downstream will the swimmer be upon reaching the other side of the river?

(in meters)

Any help I can get on this question is greatly appreciated! I'm not too familiar with this question.
