A man wlaking briskly in rain with speed v must slant his umbrella forward making an angle theta with the vertical . A student derives the following relation between theta and v : <br> tan theta=v <br> and checks that the relations has a correct limit : as v rarr 0, theta rarr 0 , as expected . (We are assuming there is no string wing and that the rains falls vertically for a stationary man). Do you think this relation can be correct ? If not, guess at the correct relation .

Answer Text

Solution :
According to principle of homogenity of dimensional equations, Dimensions of `L.H.S. =` Dimensions of `R.H.S.` <br> Here, `v =tan theta` <br> i.e., `[L^(1) T^(-1)] =` dimensionless, which is incorrect <br> Correcting the `L.H.S.` we. Get <br> `v//u=tan theta`, where u is velocity of rain.

A man walking briskly in rain with speed v must slant his umbrella forward making an angle `theta` with the vertical. A student derives the following relation between `theta` and v: `tan theta` = v and checks that the relation has a correct limit : as `vtoo, thetato0`, as expected , (we are assuming there is no strong wind and that the rain falls vertically for a stationary man.) Do you think this relation can be correct ? If you, guess the correct relation.

Statement -1 : A man standing on the ground has to hold his umbrella at an angle ` theta` with the vertical to protect himself from rain. It is possible that the man now starts running on the ground with certain speed, but he still has to hold his umbrella at angle ` theta` with the vertical to protect himself from rain. <br> Statement -2 : Vertical component of velocity of rain w.r.t man does not change. if he starts running on a horizontal ground.

A boy runs on a horizontal road with a speed of 4 m/s while it is raining. <br> He sees that the rain is making an angle `theta` with the vertical while running from west to east. <br> However , when he runs from east to west, the angle is `alpha`. <br> The rain is pouring down at an angle `45^@` with the vertical normal and at a speed of 8 m/s as shown in the figure. the ratio `(tan theta) /(tan alpha)` is <br> <img src="https://d10lpgp6xz60nq.cloudfront.net/physics_images/ARH_5Y_SP_03_05_19_02_E02_004_Q01.png" width="80%">
