Terminal Velocity

Eight equal drops of water are falling through air with a steady speed of 10 cm/s10\text{ cm/s}. If the drops coalesce, the new velocity is:-

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. v∝r2v \propto r^2 and R=81/3r=2rR = 8^{1/3}r = 2r.
  2. v′=22×10=40v' = 2^2 \times 10 = 40 cm/s
  3. So the answer is (a) 4040 cm/s.
