Two towns $A$ and $B$ are connected by a regular bus service with a bus leaving in either direction every $T$ min. $A$ man cycling with a speed of $20 \,km/h$ from $A$ to $B$ notices that a bus travelling in the direction of his motion goes past him every $18 \,min$ and every $6 \,min$ he notices a bus travelling in the opposite direction go past him. Assuming that the buses travel with a constant speed,find $T$ and the constant speed of the buses.

$A$ man walking briskly in rain with speed $v$ must slant his umbrella forward making an angle $\theta$ with the vertical. $A$ student derives the following relation between $\theta$ and $v: \tan \theta = v$ and checks that the relation has a correct limit: as $v \rightarrow 0, \theta \rightarrow 0,$ as expected. (We are assuming there is no strong wind and that the rain falls vertically for a stationary man). Do you think this relation can be correct? If not,guess the correct relation.
