A person is standing on road by holding an umbrella at right angle to the horizontal surface in order to protect himself from rain falling at a speed of 10 m/s, when the velocity of wind is zero. Suddenly wind begins to flow at a speed of 20m/s, `30^(@)` south of west. Now by what angle the person has to rotate his umbrella in order to protect himself from rain ?

A

`30^(@)`

B

`tan^(-1) (2)`

C

`60^(@)`

D

`tan^(-1) ((sqrt3)/(2))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
