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 ft3 . Use this data and, if need be, dig up other data and make other reasonable assumptions to determine whether average velocity of . . . 7 mph is consistent with the models in 35 and 36 in Exercises 3.1 and in this exercise set. Also see in Exercises 1.3.
