Rain is falling vertically with a speed ...

Rain is falling vertically with a speed of `20ms^(-1)`., A person is running in the rain with a velocity of `5 ms^(-1)` and a wind is also blowing with a speed of `15 ms^(-1)` (both from the west) The angle with the vertical at which the person should hold his umbrella so that he may not get drenched is:

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of how the person should hold their umbrella to avoid getting drenched in the rain, we can break it down into the following steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the velocities**: - The rain is falling vertically downwards with a velocity of \( V_r = 20 \, \text{m/s} \). - The person is running horizontally with a velocity of \( V_p = 5 \, \text{m/s} \) (from the west). - The wind is blowing horizontally with a velocity of \( V_w = 15 \, \text{m/s} \) (also from the west). ...
