$A$ swimmer wants to cross a river from point $A$ to point $B$. Line $AB$ makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the flow of the river. The magnitude of the velocity of the swimmer is the same as that of the river. The angle $\theta$ with the line $AB$ should be in degrees,so that the swimmer reaches point $B$.
