Rain, pouring down at an angle alpha wit...

Rain, pouring down at an angle `alpha` with the vertical has a speed of `10ms^(-1)`.`A` girl runs against the rain with a speed of `8ms//^(-1)` and sees that the rain makes an angle `beta` with the vertical, then relation between `alpha` and `beta` is

A

`tan alpha=(8+10sin beta)/(10cos beta)`

B

`tan beta=(8+10sin alpha)/(10cos alpha)`

C

`tan alpha=tanbeta`

D

`tan alpha=cot beta`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b


`sin alpha=(x)/(v_(R)), x=v_(R) sin alpha`
`cos alpha=(y)/(v_(R)),y=v_(R) cos alpha, tan beta=(x+v_(G))/(y)`

Particle "A" is released from a point "P" on a smooth inclined plane inclined at an angle alpha with the horizontal.At the same instant another particle "B" is projected with initial velocity 'u' making an angle beta 'with the horizontal.Both the particles meet again on the inclined plane.the relation between ' alpha and beta is 1) alpha+beta=(pi)/(6) 2) alpha+beta=(pi)/(4) 3) alpha+beta=(pi)/(3) 4) alpha+beta=(pi)/(2)
