The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the relative velocity of rain with respect to the man, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the velocities involved - The man is walking with a velocity of \( \vec{V_m} = 3 \, \text{km/hr} \) in the horizontal direction (let's assume to the right). - The rain is falling vertically downward with a velocity of \( \vec{V_r} = 10 \, \text{km/hr} \). ### Step 2: Set up the coordinate system - We will use a Cartesian coordinate system where: - The x-axis represents the horizontal direction (to the right). - The y-axis represents the vertical direction (downward). ### Step 3: Express the velocities in vector form - The velocity of the man can be represented as: \[ \vec{V_m} = 3 \, \hat{i} \, \text{km/hr} \] - The velocity of the rain can be represented as: \[ \vec{V_r} = -10 \, \hat{j} \, \text{km/hr} \] (The negative sign indicates that the rain is falling downward, which is in the negative y-direction.) ### Step 4: Calculate the relative velocity of rain with respect to the man - The relative velocity of the rain with respect to the man is given by: \[ \vec{V_{rm}} = \vec{V_r} - \vec{V_m} \] - Substituting the values: \[ \vec{V_{rm}} = (-10 \, \hat{j}) - (3 \, \hat{i}) = -3 \, \hat{i} - 10 \, \hat{j} \, \text{km/hr} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the magnitude of the relative velocity - The magnitude of the relative velocity can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem: \[ |\vec{V_{rm}}| = \sqrt{(-3)^2 + (-10)^2} \] - Calculating the squares: \[ |\vec{V_{rm}}| = \sqrt{9 + 100} = \sqrt{109} \] - Therefore, the magnitude of the relative velocity is: \[ |\vec{V_{rm}}| \approx 10.44 \, \text{km/hr} \] ### Final Answer The relative velocity of rain with respect to the man is approximately \( 10.44 \, \text{km/hr} \) at an angle downward to the horizontal. ---
