A steam boat goes across a lake and comes back
(1)On a quiet and calm day when the water is still
(2)On a rough day when there is a uniform current so as to help the journey onwards and to impede the journey backwards.
With the same speed of launch on both days the times taken to complete the two-way journey on the quiet and rough day are t1 and t2. THEN
 
1) t1 < t2
2) t1=t2
3) t1>t2
4) t1>_<t2
 
plz give answer by solving and expanation

is the ans. 2 option: t1=t2????

on frst day, time taken = t+t=2t
on second day, time taken = t+delta t + t - delta t

delta t is added and removed time due to help in motion by current

t2=2t

therefore t1=t2....

plzz rate if correct and guide if wrong....

bcoz
let velocity of boat =V
let velocity of water=U
velocity in still water=V
velocity on rough day=V-U
let it cover distance d
ON ROUGH DAY
during upsteam time taken T3=d/V-U
during downsteam time taken T4=d/V+U
total time t1 =T3+T4=2Vd/V2-U2........1
IN STILL WATER
total distance =2d so total time t2 =2d/V................2
subtract 1 from 2 u will get
t2-t1=2d/V *(1-1/1-U2-V2) here V2= square of V U2= square of U
this is always + quantity hence t1>t2

bcoz during rough day u have to make some angle with the flow of river so that the resultant velocity of boat and flow of river become perpendicular to the flow and u may reach on just opposite
