To solve the problem of finding the speed and direction of the rain with respect to the ground, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the given information - The man is moving with a velocity \( V_m = 5 \, \text{m/s} \) horizontally. - The rain is observed to be falling vertically with a velocity \( V_{rm} = 10 \, \text{m/s} \) with respect to the man. ### Step 2: Set up the relative velocity equation The relative velocity of the rain with respect to the man can be expressed as: ...
