It is common observation that rain clouds can be at about a kilometre altitude above the grond. (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 about4 mm diameter. Vomentum is mass xxspeed in vagnitude . Estimate its momentum when it hits ground. (c ) Estimate the time required to flatten the drop. (d) Rete of change of momentum id force. Fstmate how much forece such a drop would exert you. (e) Estiate the order of magitude force of magnitude force on umbrella.Typical lateral separation between tao rain drops is5 cm. (Assume that umbrella is circular and has a diameter of1 m and cloth is not prierced through it) |
