A train travels due south at 28 m/s (relative to the ground ) in a rain that is blown to the south by the wind. The path of eachraindrop makes an angle of 640 with the vertical, as measured by an observer stationary on the Earth. An observer on the train, however, sees perfectly vertical tracks of rain on the windowpane. Determine the speed of the drops relative to the Earth
