During a rainstorm the raindrops are observed to strike the ground at an angle of `37^(@)` with the vertical. The wind speed is 4.5 m/s. Assuming that the horizontal velocity component of the raindrops is same as the speed of air, what is the vertical component of raindrops? What is their speed ?

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we will break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the components of the raindrop's velocity The raindrops strike the ground at an angle of \(37^\circ\) with the vertical. This means we can resolve the velocity of the raindrops into two components: horizontal (\(V_x\)) and vertical (\(V_y\)). ### Step 2: Identify the horizontal component According to the problem, the horizontal component of the raindrop's velocity is equal to the wind speed. Given that the wind speed is \(4.5 \, \text{m/s}\): \[ ...
