Rain is falling vertically with a speed of \(30 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\). A man rides a bicycle with a speed of \(10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) from East to West direction. At what the angle with the vertical, he sees the rain falling?

  1. A \(\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)\) towards West
  2. B \(\tan ^{-1}(3)\) towards West
  3. C \(\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)\) towards East
  4. D \(\tan ^{-1}(3)\) towards East
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)\) towards West

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, speed of rain in vertical direction, \(v_r=30 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) The given situation is shown in the above figure. If \(\theta\) be the angle from vertical in south direction, then, \(\tan \theta=\frac{v_m}{v_r}=\frac{10}{30}=\frac{1}{3}\)…
