The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the velocity of the monkey as observed by a man standing on the ground, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the velocities - The train is moving north with a speed of 54 km/hr. - The monkey is running against the motion of the train with a speed of 18 km/hr relative to the train. ### Step 2: Define the directions - Let's consider north as the positive direction. - The velocity of the monkey relative to the train is negative since it is moving against the direction of the train. ### Step 3: Write the equations - Let \( V_{train} = 54 \) km/hr (north). - Let \( V_{monkey \, (relative \, to \, train)} = -18 \) km/hr (against the direction of the train). ### Step 4: Calculate the velocity of the monkey with respect to the ground Using the formula for relative velocity: \[ V_{monkey} = V_{monkey \, (relative \, to \, train)} + V_{train} \] Substituting the values: \[ V_{monkey} = -18 \, \text{km/hr} + 54 \, \text{km/hr} \] \[ V_{monkey} = 36 \, \text{km/hr} \] ### Step 5: State the direction Since the resulting velocity is positive, it indicates that the monkey is moving in the same direction as the train, which is north. ### Step 6: Convert to meters per second (if required) To convert km/hr to m/s, we use the conversion factor \( \frac{5}{18} \): \[ V_{monkey} = 36 \, \text{km/hr} \times \frac{5}{18} = 10 \, \text{m/s} \] ### Final Answer The velocity of the monkey as observed by a man standing on the ground is **10 m/s due north**. ---
