Raindrops make an angle with the vertical when viewed through a moving train

window. If the speedometer on the train is showing that the speed of the

train is v, what is the speed of the raindrops in the reference frame of the Earth

in which they are assumed to fall vertically?

    Their speed is (speed of the train) times (cotangent of the angle the drops appear to make with the vertical).
