An aeroplane is to go along a straight line from $A$ to $B$,and back again. The relative speed with respect to wind is $V$. The wind blows perpendicular to the line $AB$ with speed $v$. The distance between $A$ and $B$ is $\ell$. The total time for the round trip is:

$A$ man running at a speed of $5 \text{ km/h}$ finds that the rain falls vertically. When he stops running,he finds that the rain is falling at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. The velocity of rain with respect to the running man is

$A$ train of $150 \; m$ length is going towards the north direction at a speed of $10 \; m/s$. $A$ parrot flies at a speed of $5 \; m/s$ towards the south direction parallel to the railway track. The time taken by the parrot to cross the train is: (in $; s$)

$A$ particle is moving along the $x$-axis with its coordinate with time '$t$' given by $x(t) = 10 + 8t - 3t^2$. Another particle is moving along the $y$-axis with its coordinate as a function of time given by $y(t) = 5 - 8t^3$. At $t = 1 \; s$,the speed of the second particle as measured in the frame of the first particle is given as $\sqrt{v}$. Then $v$ (in $m^2/s^2$) is:
