Why not rain drops do not posses greater velocity than some velocity ? Explain.
Why not rain drops do not posses greater velocity than some velocity ? Explain.
Since the rain drop freely falling under the gravitational force. The other force is the air resistance exerted opposite to its motion. As the velocity increases resultant force on it decreases. If a resultant force for certain velocity $\left[\mathrm{F}(v)=\frac{4}{5} \pi r^{3}(\rho-\sigma) g-\sigma \pi \eta r v\right]$ becomes zero, then its velocity becomes constant which is known as terminal velocity. From now velocity of drop does not increases.

A solid sphere, of radius $R$ acquires a terminal velocity $\nu_1 $ when falling (due to gravity) through a viscous fluid having a coefficient of viscosity $\eta $. The sphere is broken into $27$ identical solid spheres. If each of these spheres acquires a terminal velocity, $\nu_2$, when falling through the same fluid, the ratio $(\nu_1/\nu_2)$ equals
