During a rainstorm the raindrops are observed to strike the ground at an angle of `37^(@)` with the vertical. The wind speed is 4.5 m/s. Assuming that the horizontal velocity component of the raindrops is same as the speed of air, what is the vertical component of raindrops? What is their speed ?

To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the components of the raindrop's velocity The raindrops strike the ground at an angle of \(37^\circ\) with the vertical. This means we can break down the velocity of the raindrops into two components: the vertical component (\(V_y\)) and the horizontal component (\(V_x\)). ### Step 2: Identify the horizontal component From the problem, we know that the horizontal velocity component of the raindrops is equal to the wind speed, which is given as \(4.5 \, \text{m/s}\). Therefore: \[ ...
