Rain is falling vertically with a speed of 30 ms^-1 . A woman rides a bicycle with a speed of 10 m s^-1 in the north to south direction. What is the direction in which she should hold her umbrella ?

A hill is 500 m high. Supplies are to be sent across the hill using a canon that can hurl packets at a speed of 125 m//s over the hill. The canon is located at a distance of 800m from the foot of hill and can be moved on the ground at ba speed of 2 m//s, so that its distance from the hill can be adjusted.
