The English Channel is 35 km wide at its narrowest point, which is where most swimmers attempt to cross north to south from England to France. The current across this portion of the English Channel runs at about 2 km/h east to west. a. If a swimmer has a relative velocity to the shore of 3 km/h north to south, how long will it take her to cross the 35 km distance?

b. What must be her velocity relative to the water if she has a velocity of 3 km/h north to south relative to the shore?
