Suppose A and B in the previous problem change their positions in such a way that the line joining them becomes perpendicular to the direction of wind while maintaining the separation x. What will be the time B finds between seeing and hearing the drum beating by A?

उत्तर
Given:
Distance between A and B = x
Let v be the velocity of sound in the direction along line AC.
Let u be the velocity of air in the direction along line AB.
Angle between v and u = θ > \[\frac{\pi}{2}\]
Resultant velocity of sound and air that will reach B = \[\vec{AD} = \sqrt{\left( \text{ v } ^2 - \text{ u } ^2 \right)}\]
Here, the time taken by light to reach B is neglected.
∴ Time lag between seeing and hearing = Time taken to hear the sound of the drum
\[t = \frac{\text{ Displacement } }{\text{ Velocity } }\]
\[ = \frac{x}{\sqrt{\text{ v } ^2 -\text{ u } ^2}}\]

It is a common observation that rain clouds can be at about a kilometre altitude above the ground.
- If a rain drop falls from such a height freely under gravity, what will be its speed? Also calculate in km/h. ( g = 10 m/s2)
- A typical rain drop is about 4mm diameter. Momentum is mass x speed in magnitude. Estimate its momentum when it hits ground.
- Estimate the time required to flatten the drop.
- Rate of change of momentum is force. Estimate how much force such a drop would exert on you.

A man is standing on top of a building 100 m high. He throws two balls vertically, one at t = 0 and other after a time interval (less than 2 seconds).

Calculate the velocity with which the balls were thrown and the exact time interval between their throw.
