In the 2016 Olympics in Rio, after the 50 m freestyle competition, a problem with the pool was found. In lane 1 there was a gentle 1.2 cm/s current flowing in the direction that the swimmers were going, while in lane 8 there was a current of the same speed but directed opposite to the swimmers’ direction. Suppose a swimmer could swim the 50 m in 25.0 s in the absence of any current. How would the time it took the swimmer to swim 50.0 mm change in lane 1?

Suppose someone finds herself with her rowboat on the bank of a river that is 3 km wide. Her campsite is on the other side of the river, 8 km down the river bank from her starting point. First, she will row her boat across the river, then walk along the river bank to her campsite. She can row 3 kph in the river, and walk along the river bank at 5 kph. We can assume that the current in the river is negligible. Toward what point, in miles, on the other side of the river should she row in order to reach her campsite in the least time? Note: Omit units of measurement from your answer. Round to the nearest thousandth. Solution:
