A girl standing on road holds her umbrella at 45° with the vertical to keep the rain away. If she starts running without umbrella with a speed of \(15\sqrt2\) \(kmh^{–1}\), the rain drops hit herhead vertically. The speed of rain drops with respect to the moving girl is
- \(30\) \(kmh^{–1}\)
- \(\frac{25}{\sqrt2}\) \(kmh^{-1}\)
- \(\frac{30}{\sqrt2}\) \(kmh^{-1}\)
- \(25\) \(kmh^{–1}\)
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
From graph,
\(V_{RG} =15\sqrt2tan\;45\degree\)
= \(15\sqrt2\)
= \(\frac{30}{\sqrt2}\)
Therefore, the correct option is (C): \(\frac{30}{\sqrt2}\) \(kmh^{-1}\)
