Chapter 2: Problem 67
Rubber Ducks A severe storm on January 10, 1992, near the Aleutian Islands, caused a cargo ship to spill 29,000 rubber ducks and other bath toys into the ocean. Ten months later hundreds of rubber ducks began to appear along the shoreline near Sitka, Alaska, roughly \(2600 \mathrm{~km}\) away. What was the approximate average speed, in meters per second, of the ocean current that carried the ducks to shore? (Rubber ducks from the same spill began to appear on the coast of Maine in July 2003.)
