A train travels due south at 25 m/s (relative to the ground) in a rain that is blown toward the south by the wind. The path of e

ach raindrop makes an angle of 66° with the vertical, as measured by an observer stationary on the ground. An observer on the train, however, sees the drops fall perfectly vertically. Determine the speed of the raindrops relative to the ground.

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Train travels towards south with a velocity if v_t=25\ m/s

Rain makes an angle of \theta =66^{o}  with vertical

If an observer sees the drop fall perfectly vertical i.e. horizontal component of rain velocity is equal to train velocity

suppose v_r is the velocity of rain with respect to ground then

v_r\sin\theta =v_t

v_r\times \sin (66)=25

v_r=27.36\ m/s

Therefore velocity of rain drops is 27.36 m/s
