Question

Rain appears to be falling at an angle 37°with vertical to the driver of a car moving with a velocity of 7m/s. When he increases the velocity of car to 25 m/s, the rain again appears to fall at an angle 37° with vertical. If the actual velocity of rain related to ground is 4nm/s then find n.

Angle b/w A & B vectors
tan(α) = B sin(θ)A + B cos(θ)
where θ = angle b/w A & B vectors
Case 1: Suppose angle b/w A & B is θ, then
                                                    tan(900+370) = vr sin(θ)7 + vr cos(θ)
  −cot(370) = vr sin(θ)7 + vr cos(θ)
                                                          cot(370) = −vr sin(θ)7 + vr cos(θ) ......eq(1)
Case 2:
                     tan(90 −370) = vr sin(θ)25 + vr cos(θ)

                                                          cot(370) = vr sin(θ)25 + vr cos(θ)       ...eq(2)
from eq...(1) & (2)

                                                        −vr sin(θ)7 + vr cos(θ) = vr sin(θ)25 + vr cos(θ)

         vr cos(θ) = −16 ......eq(3)
putting the value of ..eq(3) in eq...(1) we get

                                                                vr sin(θ) = 12 .....eq(4)      [cot(370) = 43]
from eq.. eq..(3)2 + eq..(4)2

                                                                vr 2 = 400                                                              [sin(θ2) + cos(θ2) = 1]

                                                                vr = 20 m/s .....eq(5)
putting the value of ..eq(5) into eq..(3) we get

                                                                cos(θ) = −45θ = 900+ 370 = 1270   ...eq(6)    So the magnitude of velocity of rain vr= 20 m/s and direction with verticle is at 370 angle

Hence velocity = 4n = 20

So n = 5.

Rain appears to be falling at an angle 37°with vertical to the driver of a car moving with a velocity of 7m/s. When he increases the velocity of car to 25 m/s, the rain again appears to fall at an angle 37° with vertical. If the actual velocity of rain related to ground is 4nm/s then find n.

A car loaded with water having total mass 1000 kg moves on a straight horizontal Road starting from rest under the action of a force of 100 Newton. The water spills throw a small hole in the bottom at a rate of 0.1 KG per second the velocity of cart after 300 seconds is nearly.
