A spherical raindrop 2.1 mm in diameter falls through a vertical distance of 4450 m. Take the cross-sectional area of a raindrop =r2, 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 (in m/s) a spherical raindrop would achieve falling from 4450 m in the absence of air drag.
m/s
(b)
What would its speed (in m/s) be at the end of 4450 m when there is air drag?
m/s
