A man is walking in east direction with velocity

Question

A man is walking in east direction with velocity of 3 km/hr. Rain appears to him falling vertically at 4 km/hr. Find the velocity of rain and the angle it is deducing with the horizontal. Please answer with proper explainations.

Since rain appears to fall vertically to the man, that means, the horizontal component of rain's velocity is same as the velocity of man(which is entirely horizontal with respect to ground, and equal to 3 km/hr). Hence, Vx(rain)= 3 km/hr (Eqn 1) Also, the velocity of rain in vetical direction wrt man is 4 km/hr. Since man is not moving in vertical direction, thay means, the velocity of rain wrt ground in vertical direction is 4 km/hr too.Hence, Vy(rain)=4 km/hr. (Eqn 2) From Eqns 1 and 2, the resultant velocity of rain Vrain= ✓(32 + 42) = ✓25 = 5 km/hr. Let @ be the angle between rain's velocity and horizontal.tan @= 4/3thus, @= tan-1 4/3= 53°I hope that helps. :)
