Rain is falling vertically at a speed of 35 m/s. Wind started blowing after some time with a speed of 12 m/s in an east-to-west direction. In which direction should a boy waiting at a bus stop hold his umbrella with the vertical?

When a car is at rest, its driver sees raindrops falling on it vertically. When driving the car with speed $v$, he sees that raindrops are coming at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ from the horizontal. On further increasing the speed of the car to $(1+\beta) v$, this angle changes to $45^{\circ}$. The value of $100 \beta$ is close to :

A man walking with a speed of 4 km/hr finds the rain drops falling vertically downwards.when the man increases his speed to 8 km/hr he finds that the raindrops are falling making an angle of 30 degrees with the vertical. find the speed of the rain drops

A girl standing on a road hold her umbrella at $45^{\circ}$ with velocity to keep the rain away. If she starts running without umbrella with a speed of $15 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{kmh}^{-1}$, the rain drops hit her head vertically. The speed of rain drops with respect to the moving girl is $\mid$

Rain - Man Problem
  • Terminology-

$
\begin{aligned}
& \overrightarrow{V_m}=\text { velocity of man in horizontal direction } \\
& \overrightarrow{V_r}=\text { velocity of rain w.r.t ground } \\
& \overrightarrow{V_{r m}}=\text { velocity of rain w.r.t man }
\end{aligned}
$

- Velocity of rain w.r.t man is given by

$
\overrightarrow{V_{r m}}=\overrightarrow{V_r}-\overrightarrow{V_m}
$

- For a Special case when Velocity of rain falling vertically

$
\text { Then, }^{\tan \Theta}=\frac{V_m}{V_r}
$

Where $\Theta=$ angle which relative velocity of rain with
respect to man make with the vertical
