A flag is hoisted on the steamer boat.On the basis of the data given below find out the direction of flutter of

the flag

${\to v}_{s t e a m e r / w a t e r} = 10 \sqrt{3} m s^{- 1}$ towards North

${\to v}_{w a t e r} = 5 m s^{- 1}$ towards East

${\to v}_{w i n d} = 5 m s^{- 1}$ towards East

(Assume the wind does not affect the steamer)

Solution

The correct option is B
South

${\to v}_{s t e a m e r / w a t e r} = 10 \sqrt{3}^j m / s$

${\to v}_{w a t e r} = 5^i m / s$

${\to v}_{w i n d} = 5^i m / s$

$∴ {\to v}_{s t e a m e r} = {\to v}_{s t e a m e r / w a t e r} + {\to v}_{w a t e r}$

= $10 \sqrt{3}^j + 5^i m / s$

$∴ {\to v}_{f l a g}$ in the absence of wind is the velocity of flag w.r.t wind. This will be opposite to the velocity of the steamer.

$∴ {\to v}_{f l a g / w i n d} = - 10 \sqrt{3}^j - 5^i m / s$

${\to v}_{f l a g} = {\to v}_{f l a g / w i n d} + {\to v}_{w i n d}$

= $- 10 \sqrt{3}^j - 5^i + 5^i$

= $- 10 \sqrt{3}^j ∴$ direction - south
