MCQ
A person running horizontally observes that rain is falling on his head vertically with speed $10\,m/s$. He stops and observes that rain is coming at an angle $30^o$ with vertical. Find the speed of rain w.r.t. ground
  • A
    $20\,m/s$
  • $\frac{{20}}{{\sqrt 3 }}m/s$
  • C
    $10\sqrt 3\,m/s$
  • D
    $\frac{{10}}{{\sqrt 3 }}m/s$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\frac{{20}}{{\sqrt 3 }}m/s$
b
Given $\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{r}} \cos 30^{\circ}=10 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$

$\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{r}}=\frac{20}{\sqrt{3}} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$

Two point masses $m$ and $2\,m$ moving in the same horizontal plane from opposite sides of the bar with speeds $2v$ and $v$ respectively. The masses stick to the bar after collision at a distance $\frac{L}{3}$ and $\frac{L}{6}$ respectively from the centre of the bar. If the bar starts rotating about its center of mass as a result of collision, the angular speed of the bar will be
