Wind is blowing in the north direction at speed of $2 \,\,m/s$ which causes the rain to fall at some angle with the vertical. With what velocity should a cyclist drive so that the rain appears vertical to him :

A glass wind screen whose inclination with the vertical can be changed is mounted on a car. The car moves horizontally with a speed of $2\,\,m/s$. At what angle $\alpha$ with the vertical should the wind screen be placed so that the rain drops falling vertically downwards with velocity $6\,\, m/s$ strike the wind screen perpendicularly.

FIgure shows a sphere of mass $500\ g$ moving in a steady flow of air in the $x- $ direction. The  air-stream  exerts an essentially constant force of $0.9\  N$ on the sphere in the $x-$ direction. If at $t = 0$ the sphere is moving a s shown in the figure, determine the time required for the sphere to cross the $y-$ axis again  ........ $\sec$

Airplanes $A$ and $B$ are flying with constant velocity in the same vertical plane at angles $30^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$ with respect to the horizontal respectively as shown in figure . The speed of $A$ is $100 \sqrt{3} ms ^{-1}$. At time $t=0$, an observer in A finds $B$ at a distance of $500 \ m$. This observer sees $B$ moving with a constant velocity perpendicular to the line of motion of $A$. If at $t = t _0$, $A$ just escapes being hit by $B , t _0$ in seconds is:
