speed downstream is 12 km/h
\n" ); document.write( "speed upstream is 8 km/h
\n" ); document.write( "speed is flat water + current
\n" ); document.write( "so s+c=12
\n" ); document.write( "and s-c=8
\n" ); document.write( "2s=20
\n" ); document.write( "s=10 km/h speed in flat water
\n" ); document.write( "c= 2 km/h current
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
