Assertion: Rain is falling vertically with a certain speed. A boy holding an umbrella rides a bicycle in east to west direction and does not get wet.
Reason: The boy is holding his umbrella (at some angles) with the vertical towards the west.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Rain is falling vertically with a certain speed. The boy rides a bicyle in east to west direction. So to avoid rain he should hold this umbrella in vertical plane at some angle with vertical towards easts.

By the term velocity of rain, we mean velocity with which raindrops fall relative to the ground. In absence of wind, raindrops fall vertically and in presence of wind raindrops fall obliqucly. Moreover raindrops acquire a constant terminal velocity due air resistance very quickly as they fall toward the carth. A moving man relative to himself observes an altered velocity of raindrops. Which is known as velocity of rain relative to the man. It is given by the following equation. vec(v)_(rm)=vec(v)_(r)-vec(v)_(m) A standstill man relative to himself observes rain falling with velocity, which is equal to velocity of the raindrops relative to the ground. To protect himself a man should his umbrella against velocity of raindrops relative to himself as shown in the following figure. Rain is falling vertically with velocity 80 cm/s.
