Hey Jax, how come you didn't get the right answer to the question? I did. I
then provided the appropriate formulae. All you did was babble about
"components" and then give the wrong answer. You went on for 4 posts about the
"square root of 50" which isn't relevant to the problem.

You're right, you can't have a "rational discussion" with me, or with anyone
else.

BTW, one doesn't describe a current by which direction is comes from, one
describes it by which direction its going. Take the Power Squadron course,
really.

jeffies, it is near impossible to have a rational discussion with you, as you
once AGAIN show you have zero understanding of either the issue or the
resultant answer.

you really, really, really don't understand the question, i.e. how much
current
and from which direction would be needed to cause a boat to change course by
some large angle.

you, you blithering idiot, are rambling on and on and on and on hoping against
all hope that newbies will forget that you motor training wheels while Walter
Mittying yourself to be Shackleton.

Yes I know you "think" you answered the question, just like you "think"
you're a
member of Mensa, and you "think" you graduated high school.

But saying that the answer is something that has a collection of components
is
NOT showing that you actually know how to compute such a collection. The
fact
that you keep insisting you solved it proves you don't really know how to do
it.
And being able to guess within 15% isn't bad, but doesn't show you know how
to
navigate.

I know that *you* don't understand, jeffies, but the problem really was
answered comprehensively within a few minutes of the question being posted.

jeffie, rational discussion with you is near to impossible, for you are
not
only much lacking in mental candlepower you are also so lacking in such you
are
not even capable of understanding just how lacking.

don't buy an EPIRB, jeffie. Let Darwin help you sail, if you ever do
decide
to
sail in lieu motoring.

I think I gave the answer to the "math problem."

As to whether this current can e
