$A$ swimmer swims in still water at a speed of $5 \text{ km/hr}$. He enters a $200 \text{ m}$ wide river,having a river flow speed of $4 \text{ km/hr}$,at point $A$ and proceeds to swim at an angle of $127^{\circ}$ $(\sin 37^{\circ} = 0.6)$ with the river flow direction. Another point $B$ is located directly across $A$ on the other side. The swimmer lands on the other bank at a point $C$,from which he walks the distance $CB$ with a speed of $3 \text{ km/hr}$. The total time in which he reaches from $A$ to $B$ is .......... $\text{minutes}$.

$A$ shell is fired at a speed of $200\ m/s$ at an angle of $37^o$ above the horizontal from the top of a tower $80\ m$ high. At the same instant,another shell is fired from a jeep travelling away from the tower at a speed of $10\ m/s$ as shown. The velocity of this shell relative to the jeep is $250\ m/s$ at an angle of $53^o$ with the horizontal. Find the time (in $sec$) taken by the two shells to come closest.

Two particles having position vectors $r_1 = (3 \hat{i} + 5 \hat{j}) \text{ m}$ and $r_2 = (-5 \hat{i} - 3 \hat{j}) \text{ m}$ are moving with velocities $v_1 = (4 \hat{i} + 3 \hat{j}) \text{ m/s}$ and $v_2 = (a \hat{i} + 7 \hat{j}) \text{ m/s}$. If they collide after $2 \text{ s}$,then the value of $a$ is:

Rain is falling vertically with a speed of $30 \,m/s$. A man rides a bicycle with a speed of $10 \,m/s$ from East to West direction. At what angle with the vertical does he see the rain falling?

In a harbour,wind is blowing at the speed of $72 \; km/h$ and the flag on the mast of a boat anchored in the harbour flutters along the $N-E$ direction. If the boat starts moving at a speed of $51 \; km/h$ to the north,what is the direction of the flag on the mast of the boat?

Two persons $A$ and $B$ are located in the $X-Y$ plane at the points $(0,0)$ and $(0,10)$ respectively. (The distances are measured in $MKS$ units). At time $t=0$, they start moving simultaneously with velocities $\overrightarrow{v}_A = 2\hat{j} \text{ m/s}$ and $\overrightarrow{v}_B = 2\hat{i} \text{ m/s}$ respectively. The time after which $A$ and $B$ are at their closest distance is:
