Resultant Motion with Boat
| View Cart ⇗ | Info
“We have an example of resultant motion in a boat which a person attempts to row north across a river, while the tide carries it to the east. Each force produces the same effect as if acted alone; and the boatman, when he has crossed the river, will find himself neither due north nor due east of the point from which he started, but northeast of it.” —Quackenbos 1859
