A boy is running on a horizontal road with a velocity of 5 m/s. At what angle should he hold his umbrella in order to protect him self from the rain if the rain is falling vertically with a velocity of 10 m/s?

Rain is falling vertically. A man running on the road keeps his umbrella tilted but a man standing on the street keeps his umbrella vertical to protect himself from the rain. But both of them keep their umbrella vertical to avoid the vertical sun-rays. Explain.

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 ? .

A man of mass m having a bag ofmas m slips from the roof of atall building of height H and starts falling vertically figure. When at a height h from the ground, he notices that the ground below him is pretty hard but there is a pond at a horizontal distnce x from the line of fall. In order to save himself he throws the bag horizontally (with respect to himself) in the direction opposite to the pond. Calculate the minimum horizontal velocity imparted to the bag so that the man lands in the water. If the man just suceeds toavoid the hard ground, where will the bag land?

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 so that he does not wet. If rain drops falls vertically downwards, what is the rain velocity ?

When it is raining vertically down, to a man walking on road the velocity of rain appears to be 1.5 times his velocity. To protect himself from rain he should hold the umbrella at an angle theta to vertical. Then tan theta=

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 so that he does not wet. If rain drops falls vertically downwards, what is the rain velocity ?

A man running at a speed of 5 km/h finds that the rain is falling vertically. When the stops running, the finds that the rain is falling at an angle of 60^(@) with the horizontal. The velocity of rain with respect to running man is
