Suppose a large raindrop (diameter 5000 μm) falls at its terminal velocity from the base of a cloud 1500 m (about 5000 ft) above the ground.
(a) If we assume the raindrop does not evaporate, how long would it take the drop to reach the surface?
(b) What would be the shape of the falling raindrop just before it reaches the ground?
(c) What type of cloud would you expect this raindrop to fall from? Explain.
