Determine the speed of boat in downstream


Assignment:

A boat leaves one bank of a river and heads in such a direction as to arrive at a point downstream and across the river.

A certain river is 2000 meters wide and flows Southward at 6.2 m/sec. The boat's speed relative to the water is 15 m/sec. From a point on the West bank the boat points in such a direction that it travels in a straight line to point Q on the East bank, 550 meters downstream. Find the direction the boat must point to do this.

A boat points in such a way as to actually travel from the starting point to point Q.
