Question:

The mass m of a raindrop increases as it picks up moisture during its vertical descent through still air. If the air resistance to motion of the drop is R and its downward velocity is v, write the equation of motion for the drop and show that the relation ∑F = d(mv)/dt is obeyed as a special case of the variable-mass equation.
