To cross a river that is 1km wide with a current of 6km/h a novice boat skipper holds the bow perpendicular to the far river bank intending to cross to a point directly across the river. At what position will the boat actually contact the far bank? What direction should the boat have been headed to actually reach a point directly across from the launch dock? The boat is capable of making 10km/h.
