To solve the problem of finding the actual velocity and direction of motion of the train, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Given Information - The man is moving east with a velocity of \( V_m = 20 \) km/hr. - The train appears to move north with a velocity of \( V_{tm} = 20\sqrt{3} \) km/hr (this is the velocity of the train with respect to the man). ### Step 2: Set Up the Relative Velocity Equation Using the concept of relative velocity, we can express the velocity of the train with respect to the ground \( V_t \) as: ...
