A man standing on a road has to hold his umbrella at `30^0` with the vertical to keep the rain away. The throws the umbrella and starts running at 10 km/h. He finds that raindrops are hitting his head vertically. Find the speed of raindrops with respect to a. the road, b. the moving man.

Suppose, the velocity of rain with respect of girl `=V_(RG)`
The velocity of rain with respect to the ground `=V_(RG)`
The velocity of giral with respect to ground
`=V_(Gg) = 10km//hr`.
`{:(vecv_(RG)=vecv_(R)-vecv_(G),,....,,(1)),(vecv_(RG)=vecv_(R)-vecv_(g),,....,,(2)),(vecv_(Gg)=vecv_(G)-vecv_(g),,...,,(3)):}`
On adding equation (1) and equation (3)
`vecv_(RG) +vecv_(Gg) = vecv_(R) - vecv_(g) = vecv_(Rg)`

(a) By traingle `AOB`
`sin30^(@)=(AB)/(OB) = (10)/(V_(Rg))` ltbRgt `V_(Rg) = (10)/(sin 30^(@)) = (10)/(1//2) = 20km//hr`
(b) Now, taking
`(V_(RG))/(V_(Gg)) = cot30^(@)`
`(V_(RG))/(10) = sqrt(3)` or `V_(RG) = 10sqrt(3) Km//hr`

Statement -1 : A man standing on the ground has to hold his umbrella at an angle theta with the vertical to protect himself from rain. It is possible that the man now starts running on the ground with certain speed, but he still has to hold his umbrella at angle theta with the vertical to protect himself from rain. Statement -2 : Vertical component of velocity of rain w.r.t man does not change. if he starts running on a horizontal ground.

To a stationary man, rain appears to be falling at his back at an angle 30^@ with the vertical. As he starts moving forward with a speed of 0.5 m s^-1 , he finds that the rain is falling vertically. The speed of rain with respect to the moving man is.
