Rain is falling vertically with a speed of $30 \,m/s$. A man rides a bicycle with a speed of $10 \,m/s$ from East to West direction. At what angle with the vertical does he see the rain falling?

  • A
    $\tan^{-1}(1/3)$ towards West
  • B
    $\tan^{-1}(3)$ towards West
  • C
    $\tan^{-1}(1/3)$ towards East
  • D
    $\tan^{-1}(3)$ towards East

$A$ man is running at a speed of $5 \, m/s$. The rain drops appear to be falling at an angle of $45^{\circ}$ from the vertical. If the rain drops are actually falling vertically downwards,then the velocity of the rain drops (in $m/s$) is:

$A$ river is flowing with a velocity of $5 \ km/hr$ as shown in the figure. $A$ boat starts from $A$ and reaches the other bank. The width of the river is $b = 300 \ m$. The velocity of the boat in still water is $v_{br} = 3 \ km/hr$. If the boat aims to reach the point directly opposite to $A$ (point $B$),but due to the river flow,it reaches point $C$,what is the distance $AC$ covered by the boat? (Note: The boat is steered such that it maintains a straight path relative to the ground).
