"Wearing a very accurate watch, you volunteer to go on a mission to a black hole in a spaceship that has powerful rockets. You are able to orbit the black hole and stay a little distance outside of the event horizon. Compared to watches on Earth, your watch near the black hole will run"

The boat's velocity relative to the riverbank can be resolved into two components. the component going north is 2.7 m/s and the component going west is 1.2 m/s.we add these two vectors and then find the magnitude of the resultant to get the speed.the magnitude of the resultant vector from adding can be obtained by the pythagorean theorem.    to two significant figures, the boat's speed relative to the riverbank is 3.0 m/s.
