A van travels due east with a speed of 55.0 km/h. Raindrops are falling at a constant speed vertically with respect to the Earth. The traces of the rain on the side windows of the car create an angle of 60.0 degree with the vertical. Determine the velocity of the rain with respect to the following reference frames.

(a) the van

m/s

(b) the Earth

m/s
