Suppose a wind is blowing in the North direction at speed of 
which causes the rain to
fall at some angle with the vertical. With what velocity should a cyclist drive, so that the rain appears vertical to him?
A
South
B
North C
West
D
South
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Horizontal component of rain's velocity will be equal to velocity of wind which is 
is
north direction. If cyclist goes towards north with velocity 
, then w.r.t. her rain's horizontal component of velocity will be zero, and she will see only vertical component.
