A standing man observes rain falling with the velocity of undefined at an angle of 30° with the vertical.
(a) Find the velocity with which the man should move so that rain appears to fall vertically to him.
(b) Now if he further increases his speed, rain again appears to fall at 30° with the vertical. Find his new velocity.

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.
