AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the situation step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the initial condition The man is standing still and holding the umbrella at an angle of \(30^\circ\) with the vertical. This means that the rain is falling at an angle of \(30^\circ\) from the vertical. ### Step 2: Set up the velocity components Let: - \(V_r\) = speed of the rain with respect to the road ...

Statement -1 : A man standing on the ground has to hold his umbrella at an angle theta with the vertical to protect himself from rain. It is possible that the man now starts running on the ground with certain speed, but he still has to hold his umbrella at angle theta with the vertical to protect himself from rain. Statement -2 : Vertical component of velocity of rain w.r.t man does not change. if he starts running on a horizontal ground.

To a stationary man, rain appears to be falling at his back at an angle 30^@ with the vertical. As he starts moving forward with a speed of 0.5 m s^-1 , he finds that the rain is falling vertically. The speed of rain with respect to the moving man is.

To a stationary man, rain appears to be falling at his back at an angle 30^@ with the vertical. As he starts moving forward with a speed of 0.5 m s^-1 , he finds that the rain is falling vertically. The speed of rain with respect to the stationary man is.

A man running on the horizontal road at 8 km h^(-1) find the rain appears to be falling vertically. He incresases his speed to 12 km h^(-1) and find that the drops make angle 30^2 with the vertical. Find the speed and direction of the rain with respedt to the road.

A man running on the horizontal road at 8 km h^(-1) find the rain appears to be falling vertically. He incresases his speed to 12 km h^(-1) and find that the drops make angle 30^2 with the vertical. Fin dthe speed and direction of the rain with respedt to the road.

A person walking ,on a horizontal road at 2 km/h finds that the rain is falling vertically . Now the person increasses his speed to 4 km/h and find that rain makes an angle 45^(@) with the vertical . Find the velocity of rain with respect to the road.

A man holds an umbrella at 30^@ with the vertical to keep himself dry. He, then, runs at a speed of 10ms^(-1) , and find the rain drops to be hitting vertically. Study the following statement and find the correct options. i. Velocity of rain w.r.t. Earth is 20 ms^(-1) ii. Velocity of rain w.r.t. man is 10 sqrt(3)ms^(-1) . iii. Velocity of rain w.r.t. Earth is 30 ms^(-1) iv. Velocity of rain w.r. t. man is 10sqrt(2) ms^(-1) .

A man walking with a speed of 3 km/h finds the rain drops falling vertically downwards. When the man increases his speed to 6km/h he find that the rain drops are falling making an angle of 30^(@) with the vertical . Find the speed of the rain drops ( in km/h)
