A man is holding an umbrella at angle `30^(@)` with vertical with lower end towards himself, which is appropriate angle to protect him from rain for his horizontal velocity `10 m//s` . Then which of the following will be true-

A

rain is falling at angle `30^(@)` with vertical. Towards the man

B

rain may be falling at angle `30^(@)` with vertical, away from the man

C

rain is falling vertically

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Let v= velocity of rain
Possible values of `alpha` are `-30^(@) lt alpha lt 90^(@)`

A man is standing on a road and observes that rain is failing at angle 45^(@) with the vertical. The man starts running on the road with constant acceleration 0.5m//s^(2) . After a certain time from the start of the motion, it appears to him that rain is still falling at angle 45^(@) with the vertical, with speed 2sqrt(2)m//s . Motion of the man is in the same vertical plane in which the rain is falling. Then which of the following staement(s) are true.

A man standing still finds rain pouring at angle 30^(@) with vertical , when he starts walking forward at a speed of 4Kmph it appears to him that rain pours vertically down. When he runs at triple the speed, what is the angle at which rain appers to pour ?

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 is travelling at 10.8 kmph in a topless car on a rainy day. He holds an umbrella at an angle of 37^@ with the vertical to protect himself from rain which is falling vertically downwards. What is the velocity of the rain drop ?

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.

A man is coming down an incline of angle 30^@ . When he walks with speed 2(sqrt(3)) m s^-1 he has to keep his umbrella vertical to protect himself from rain. The actual speed of rain is 5 ms^-1 . At angle with vertical should he keep his umbrella when he is at rest so that he does not getb drenched ? .
