Question

A Short Course in Cloud Physics p80

Please show a step by step solution

5.2. An airplane flies through an isolated cumulus cloud to make microphysical measurements with a raindrop spectrometer probe having a cross-sectional area of 20 cm^2. The cruising speed is 80 m/s and a horizontal traverse through the cloud core takes about 2 min. Assume that the cloud shape can be roughly approximated by a cylinder having a depth of 4 km. Under these assumptions, compute the fraction of the cloud volume that is actually sampled during a traverse.
