A man standing still finds rain pouringat angle 30^(@) with vertical , whenhs starts walkingforward at a speed of 4Kmph it appers to him that rain pours vertically down. Whenhe runs attriple the speed, whatis the angleat whichrain appers to pour ?

Answer»

Solution :Case I : When the MAN is still
`V_(R)` = ACTUAL (ABSOLUTE )
velocityof rain.
Case : II
Whenman walksat 4kph.
rain fall vertically
mean horizontal component of
rains.velocity= 4
`therefore V_(R) sin30^(@) = 4 rArr V_(R) = 8`

Case : III
The man runsat triple the speed `V_(M) = 12kph`.
we have superimposed `V_(M) ` to `V_(R) ` to
get theresultant .
Fromfigurewe see `TAN phi = (O.B)/(OO.) = (12-4)/(sqrt(8^(2) - 4^(2)) = (8)/(sqrt(48)) = (2)/(sqrt(3)) thereforephi = 49`
andraindrop makes an angle of `49.6^(@)` in oppositedirection.
