Rain, driven by the wind, falls on a railway compartment with a velocity of20 m s-1, at an angle of30°to the vertical. The train moves, along the direction of wind flow, at a speed of108 km hr-1. The apparent velocity of rain for a person sitting in the train is

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Speed of train = 1 0 8 × 5 1 8 = 3 0 m/s

Let v R and v T represent the respective velocities of rain and train.

Now, the relative velocity of rain w.r.t person (train) is given by v R, T = v R - v T v R + - v T

Let OR and RT represent the vectors in magnitude and direction.



OT2= OR2+ RT2+ 2OR × RT cos 120o

= 2 0 2 + 3 0 2 - 2 × 2 0 × 3 0 × 1 2

= 4 0 0 + 9 0 0 - 6 0 0 = 7 0 0 = 7 0 0 m/s
