Homework Statement
A stationary person observes that rain is falling vertically down at 30km/hr. A cyclist is moving on the level road, at 10km/hr. In which direction the cyclist should hold his umbrella to prevent himself from the rain?
2. The attempt at a solution
I used triangle law to find Velocity of rain with respect to man. The angle which comes up is tan^-1 (1/3), but the answer given is tan^-1(3). Where did I go wrong?
Please help ASAP.
Thanks.
