During a severe storm in Palm Beach, FL, onJanuary 2, 1999, 31 inches of rain fell in a period of nine hours.Assuming that the raindrops hit the ground with a speed of10 m>s, estimate the average upward force exerted by one squaremeter of ground to stop the falling raindrops during the storm.(Note: One cubic meter of water has a mass of 1000 kg.)
Drops of rain fall perpendicular to the roof of a parked car during a rainstorm. The drops strike the roof with a speed of 15 m/s, and the mass of rain per second striking the roof is 0.039 kg/s.
(a) Assuming the drops come to rest after striking the roof, find the average force exerted by the rain on the roof.

(b) If hailstones having the same mass as the raindrops fall on the roof at the same rate and with the same speed, how would the average force on the roof compare to that found in part (a)? (Assume the hailstones bounce back up off the roof.)
The magnitude would be double that in part (a).The magnitude would be half that in part (a). The magnitude would be the same as in part (a).The magnitude would be one fourth times in part (a).
During a storm, rain comes straight down at a rate of 46.8 kph and perpendicularly hits the roof of a vehicle. Assuming the mass of rain per second that strikes the vehicle's roof is 270 kg/hr. Considering that the rain comes to rest upon striking the car, find the average force exerted by the vehicle's roof on that rain.
