Question

A person looking out the window of a stationary train notices that raindrops are falling vertically down at a speed of 8.2 m/s relative to the ground. When the train moves at a constant velocity, the raindrops make an angle of 62° when they move past the window. How fast is the train moving?

Answer 1

Wouldn't tan 62= V/6.2

Of course, it is not clear how the angle is measured, either to the vertical or horizontal.

Answer 2

opps, typo, tan 62=V/8.2

Answer 3

15.42
