How can we determine the speed of the stream if a motorboat travels at 24 km/h in still water and takes an hour longer to go 32 km upstream compared to its return trip downstream?
To solve this problem, we start by setting up the necessary parameters from the information given. Let: Speed of the motorboat in still water = 24 km/h Speed of the stream = x km/h When the motorboat is going upstream, the effective speed is decreased due to the current of the stream, while downstream, the … Read more
