Question

A stationary person observes that rain is falling vertically down at 30 km/h. A cyclist is moving up on an inclined plane making an angle 30 with horizontal at 10 km/h. In which direction should the cyclist hold his umbrella to prevent himself from the rain ?

A
At an angle tan1(335) with the inclined plane.

Solution

The correct options are
A At an angle tan1(335) with the inclined plane.
D At an angle tan1(37) with the vertical.

vr=30^j, vm=1032^i+102^j
vrm=vrvm=53^i35^j
tan θ=5335=37θ=tan1(37) with vertical

Angle of vrm with inclined plane is 60θ=β
tan β=tan(60θ)=tan 60tan θ1+tan 60×tan θ
=3371+3×37=335
β=tan1(335)
