A spherical raindrop 2.1 mm in diameter falls through a vertical distance of 3650 m. Take the cross-sectional area of a raindrop = πr2, 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 a spherical raindrop would achieve falling from 3650 m in the absence of air drag.
(b) What would its speed be at the end of 3650 m when there is air drag? (Note that the raindrop will reach terminal velocity after falling about 30 m.)
