During a rainy day, rain is falling vertically with a velocity 2 m s-1. A boy at rest starts his motion with a constant acceleration of 2 m s-2 along a straight road. Find the rate at which the angle of the axis of an umbrella with vertical should be changed so that the rain always falls parallel to the axis of the umbrella.

A helicopter flies horizontally with constant velocity in a direction θ east of north between two points A and B, at distance d apart. Wind is blowing from south with constant speed u, the speed of helicopter relative to air is nu, where n>1. Find the speed of the helicopter along AB. The helicopter returns from B to A with same speed nu relative to air in same wind. Find the total time for the journeys.

Two towers AB and CD are situated at distance d apart as shown in figure. AB is 20 m high and CD is 30 m high from the ground. A particle is thrown from the top of AB horizontally with a velocity of 10 m s-1 towards CD. Simultaneously, another particle is thrown from the top of CD at an angle 60° to the horizontal towards AB with the same magnitude of initial velocity as that of the first object. The two particles moving in the same vertical plane collide in mid-air. Calculate the distance d between the towers.
