Answer:
[tex]t=2413s[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that:
Velocity [tex]v=1.5m/s[/tex]
Time [tex]t=30min=>30*60=>1800[/tex]
Distance [tex]d=24.3km[/tex]
Generally the Newton's equation for Speed going down the stream is mathematically given by
[tex]v + u = \frac{d}{t}[/tex]
[tex]1.5+v=frac{24300}{1800}[/tex]
[tex]v=12m/s[/tex]
Therefore
[tex]v + u = \frac{d}{t}[/tex]
[tex]t=\frac{24300}{12-1.5}[/tex]
[tex]t=2413s[/tex]
