Q: A man is holding an umbrella at angle 30° with vertical with lower end towards himself, which is appropriate angle to protect him from rain for his horizontal velocity 10 m/s. Then which of the following will be true-
(A) rain is falling at angle 30° with vertical, towards the man
(B) rain may be falling at angle 30° with vertical, away from the man
(C) rain is falling vertically
(D) none of these
