Asked by Gul
To a cyclist riding west at 20 kg/hr, the rain appears to meet him at an angle of 45° with the vertical. When he rides at 12 km/hr, the rain meets him at an angle of 19°48’ with the vertical. What is the actual direction of the rain?

R is speed of rain
r is angle of rain to vertical
horizontal rain we see = Rsinr+bike speed
vertical rain we see = R cos r
case 1
hor = R sin r + 20
ver = R cos r
tan 45 = (R sin r +20) /Rcos r
case 2
tan 19deg48 min = (R sinr +12)/R cos r
r is angle of rain to vertical
horizontal rain we see = Rsinr+bike speed
vertical rain we see = R cos r
case 1
hor = R sin r + 20
ver = R cos r
tan 45 = (R sin r +20) /Rcos r
case 2
tan 19deg48 min = (R sinr +12)/R cos r
