g . . . When a bottle of liquid refreshment was opened

Chapter 3, Problem 32E

(choose chapter or problem)

Raindrops Keep Falling... When a bottle of liquid refreshment was opened recently, the following factoid was found inside the bottle cap:

The average velocity of a falling raindrop is 7 miles/hour.

A quick search of the Internet found that meteorologist Jeff Haby offers the additional information that an “average” spherical raindrop has a radius of 0.04 in. and an approximate volume of \(0.000000155 \mathrm{ft}^{3}\). Use this data and, if need be, dig up other data and make other reasonable assumptions to determine whether “average velocity of . . . 7 mi/h” is consistent with the models in Problems 35 and 36 in Exercises 3.1 and Problem 15 in this exercise set. Also see Problem 36 in Exercises 1.3.
