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.)

A spherical raindrop falling through fog or mist
accumulates mass due to condensation at a rate
proportional to its cross-sectional area multiplied by the
velocity.
a. Calculate the acceleration of the raindrop in terms of its
radius and velocity. The raindrop starts from rest and has almost
zero size.
b. If a terminal velocity of 10 m/s is reached at a raindrop radius
of 1 mm, find the proportionality constant for the increase in the
raindrop's mass with velocity.

A spherical thermocouple junction 1.0 mm in diameter is inserted
in a combustion chamber to measure the temperature ?T? of the
products of combustion. The hot gases have a velocity of V= 5 m/s.
(a) If the thermocouple is at room temperature, Ti,when it is
inserted in the chamber, estimate the time required for the
temperature difference, ?T?-T, to reach 2% of the initial
temperature difference, ?T?-Ti. Neglect radiation and conduction
through the leads. Properties of the thermocouple junction are...
