A man moving in rain holds his unbrella inclined to the vertical even though the rain drops are falling vertically downwards . Why ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand why a man moving in the rain holds his umbrella inclined to the vertical, even though the raindrops are falling vertically downwards, we can analyze the situation using vector components. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Velocities**: - Let \( v_m \) be the velocity of the man moving horizontally. - Let \( v_r \) be the velocity of the rain falling vertically downwards. ...
