To solve the problem of finding the angle at which a man should hold his umbrella to avoid getting wet from vertically falling rain, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the given information - The velocity of the rain (\(V_r\)) is \(10 \, \text{m/s}\) downward (which we can denote as negative in the vertical direction, i.e., \(-10 \hat{j}\)). - The velocity of the man (\(V_m\)) is \(6 \, \text{m/s}\) horizontally (in the positive x-direction, i.e., \(6 \hat{i}\)). ### Step 2: Determine the relative velocity of the rain with respect to the man The relative velocity of the rain with respect to the man (\(V_{rm}\)) can be calculated using the formula: ...
