Question

A man is running with velocity 5km/h towards east and rain is falling vertically down with speed 5km/h. Direction of rain w.r.t man is-

(a) 30 degree with vertical

(b) 60 degree with vertical

(c) 45 degree with vertical

(d) 90 degree with vertical

Solution


From above diagram we can see direction of rain is downward and man is moving towrds east direction, so speed of rain with respect to man, vrm=vr^jvm^i

Speed of man, vm=5ms1

Speed of rain, vr=5ms1

So,

tanθ=vmvr=5ms15ms1=1

θ=tan11θ=45o

So, Direction of rain w.r.t man is; 45 degree with vertical.
