Rain and Man problems - How to solve?

Shashank Asked:
"How to solve rain and man problems from motion in one dimension?"
Answer: The problem is solved using principles of vector addition. There is a simple logic to remember
A/C = A/B x B/C
If we represent diagrammatically (in the form of vectors) the velocity of rain wrt ground, velocity of man wrt ground and velocity of rain wrt man, then we can write Vr/m = V r/g + Vg/m = V r/g - Vm/g = V r/g + (- Vm/g) Where (- Vm/g) is the negative vector of Vg/m I will be adding illustrations soon.
