Raindrops

The train runs at a speed of 14 m/s, and raindrops draw lines on the windows, forming an angle of 60 degrees with the horizontal. What speed do drops fall?

Final Answer:

v₂ =  24.2487 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} v_1=14\text{m/s} \\ \alpha =60{}^{\circ } \\ \tan \alpha =v_2/v_1 \\ {v}_2=v_1\cdot \tan \alpha =v_1\cdot \tan 60°=14\cdot \tan 60°=14\cdot 1.732051=24.249=24.2487\text{m/s} \end{gathered}$$
