Help please!!!! During a heavy rain, the drops are falling at a constant velocity and at an angle of 10.1° west of the vertical. You are walking in the rain and notice that only the top surfaces of your clothes are getting wet. What is your walking speed if the speed of the drops relative to the ground is 4.6 m/s? =>__________m/s.

walking speed is less then 5? I'ma bit confused as to how to figure that out

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i dont know of any speed you can walk and only get your top wet

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay.. so where do we go from here to find the walking speed?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

id say that if a single drop is falling, and it hit you on the top, then you have to be standing still relative to the drop ... or same speed as the drop is moving
