A spherical raindrop 1.9 mm in diameter falls through a vertical distance of 5000 m. Take the cross-
sectional area of a raindrop = ², drag coefficient = 0.45, density of water to be 1000 kg/m³, and
density of air to be 1.2 kg/m³.
(a)
Calculate the speed (in m/s) a spherical raindrop would achieve falling from 5000 m in the absence of
air drag.
m/s
(b)
What would its speed (in m/s) be at the end of 5000 m when there is air drag?
