Sailing And Wind Direction

Sailing Boat and Rain in the presence of wind.?

1. Sailing Boat
A man rows a boat with a speed of 18Km/h in the northwest direction. The shoreline makes an angle of 15 degree south of west. Obtain the components of the velocity of boat along the shoreline and the perpendicular to the shoreline.
2. Rain in the presence of wind
On a certain day rain was falling vertically with a speed of 30m/s. A wind started blowing after some time with a speed of 10m/s in the north to south direction. In which direction should a boy waiting at a bus stop hold his umbrella.
(do this questions are correct please explain.)

The velocity of the boat relative to the x and y axis is:

Vx = (18 km/h)sin(-45°) = -12.73 km/hr (in the -x direction)
Vy = (18 km/h)cos(45°) = 12.73 km/hr (in the +y direction)

Now we convert this to the shorline’s reference frame:

Vx = (18 km/h)sin(-45°+15°) = -9 km/hr
Vy = (18 km/h)cos(45°+15°) = 9 km/hr
