14PRACTICE PROBLEM
An athlete swims due east along a straight path of 200 m in the sea. The speed of the swimmer is constant and equal to 1.25 m/s with respect to the water. During the swim, the magnitude of the surface sea currents was 0.50 m/s, and their directions were due south. Calculate the time taken by the swimmer to finish the 200 m.
