a man standing on the ground has to hold his umbrella at 30 with the vertical to keep the rain away . he throws the umbrella and starts running at 10kmph . he finds that the rain drops r hitting his head vertically . find the speed of the man wrt road and the moving man

the qsn should be find the speed of the rain wrt the man and the ground.

velocity wrt ground: 10 i - 10 3 j kmph
i.e speed = 20 kmph 

speed wrt man 10 3.

Let v1=velocity of the man with respect to the road,
     v2= velocity of the rain with respect to the man
     V= velocity of the rain with respect to the road.

So we have, V= v1+v2
To find the velocity with respect to the road,
we have,
Vsin30= v1
V= 10km/hr x cosec30= 20 km/hr

For the second one,
We have,
Vcos30 = v2
v2= 20 x 3/2
v2= 10 3km/hr.

I think u mean this: ''V= 10km/hr x cosec30= 20 km/hr''

If Vsin30= 10km/hr then
V/2= 10km/hr                   ........................... since sin30= 1/2
so V= 20km/hr


In that post i took sin30 on the other side to make it cosec30.
But anyway........ i think its clear now.
