$A$ ball is thrown upward with an initial velocity $V_0$ from the surface of the earth. The motion of the ball is affected by a drag force equal to $m\gamma v^2$ (where $m$ is the mass of the ball,$v$ is its instantaneous velocity,and $\gamma$ is a constant). The time taken by the ball to rise to its zenith is:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{\gamma g}} \ln \left( 1 + \sqrt{\frac{\gamma}{g}} V_0 \right)$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{\gamma g}} \tan^{-1} \left( \sqrt{\frac{\gamma}{g}} V_0 \right)$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{\gamma g}} \sin^{-1} \left( \sqrt{\frac{\gamma}{g}} V_0 \right)$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\gamma g}} \tan^{-1} \left( \sqrt{\frac{2\gamma}{g}} V_0 \right)$

It is a common observation that rain clouds can be at about a kilometer altitude above the ground.
$(a)$ If a rain drop falls from such a height freely under gravity,what will be its speed? Also calculate in $km/h$ $(g = 10\, m/s^2)$.
$(b)$ $A$ typical rain drop is about $4\, mm$ in diameter. Momentum is mass $\times$ speed in magnitude. Estimate its momentum when it hits the ground.
$(c)$ Estimate the time required to flatten the drop.
$(d)$ Rate of change of momentum is force. Estimate how much force such a drop would exert on you.
$(e)$ Estimate the order of magnitude force on an umbrella. Typical lateral separation between two rain drops is $5\, cm$.
(Assume that the umbrella is circular and has a diameter of $1\, m$ and the cloth is not pierced through.)
