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 raindrop falling through mist builds up mass. The
mass accumlates at a rate proportional to its cross-sectional area
and invers;ey proportional to its velocity, that is, dm/dt=k?r2/v,
where r is the radius of the raindrop at a given time and v is the
downard speed at the same time.Assuming the density P of the rain
drop is a constant. Ignoring the resistance do to the fog and the
air, calculate the instaneous acceleration of the raindrop as a...
