$A$ man standing on a road has to hold his umbrella at $30^{\circ}$ with the vertical to keep the rain away. He throws the umbrella and starts running at $10 \,km/h$. He finds that raindrops are hitting his head vertically. The actual speed of raindrops is:

Airplanes $A$ and $B$ are flying with constant velocity in the same vertical plane at angles $30^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$ with respect to the horizontal,respectively,as shown in the figure. The speed of $A$ is $100 \sqrt{3} \ m/s$. At time $t=0$,an observer in $A$ finds $B$ at a distance of $500 \ m$. This observer sees $B$ moving with a constant velocity perpendicular to the line of motion of $A$. If at $t = t_0$,$A$ just escapes being hit by $B$,then $t_0$ in seconds is:

$A$ shell is fired at a speed of $200\ m/s$ at an angle of $37^o$ above the horizontal from the top of a tower $80\ m$ high. At the same instant,another shell is fired from a jeep travelling away from the tower at a speed of $10\ m/s$ as shown. The velocity of this shell relative to the jeep is $250\ m/s$ at an angle of $53^o$ with the horizontal. Find the time (in $sec$) taken by the two shells to come closest.
