For small, slowly falling objects, the assumption made inEq. (i) of Problem 8 that the drag force is proportional to the velocity is a good one. For larger, more rapidly falling
objects, it is more accurate to assume that the drag force isproportional to the square of the velocity.
Write a differential equation for the velocity of a falling object of mass
Determine the limiting velocity after a long time.
