SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on solving the "rain and man problem" involving relative motion. The velocity of the man with respect to the ground is 3 km/h due east, while the velocity of the rain with respect to the man is 4 km/h vertically downward. When the man moves at 6 km/h, the velocity of the rain with respect to the man can be determined using the Pythagorean theorem to construct a right triangle, allowing for the calculation of the actual velocity of the rain.

velocity of man wrt to ground is 3km/h due east. velocity of rain with respect to man is 4km/h and falls vertically downwards. If the man moves at 6km/hr then the velocity of rain wrt to man is?
