A vehicle was moving at `32 km*h^(-1)` towards north. A passenger noticed that rain was striking his body from the east. When the velocity of the vehicle was increased to `64 km*h^(-1)` , rain appeared to come from the north-east direction. Find the actual velocity and direction of rain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
