When a car is at rest,its driver sees rain drops falling on it vertically. When driving the car with speed $v$,he sees that rain drops are coming at an angle $60^{\circ}$ from the horizontal. On further increasing the speed of the car to $(1+\beta)v$,this angle changes to $45^{\circ}$. The value of $\beta$ is close to...
