Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to determine the direction in which the woman should hold her umbrella while riding her bicycle in the rain. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the solution: ### Step 1: Understand the velocities involved - The rain is falling vertically downwards with a speed of \( 30 \, \text{m/s} \). - The woman is riding her bicycle from North to South with a speed of \( 10 \, \text{m/s} \). ### Step 2: Define the coordinate system - Let the downward direction (rain) be along the negative y-axis. ...
