A rain drop of radius 2mm, falls from a height of 500 m above the ground. It falls with decreasing acceleration due to viscous resistance of air until half its original height. It attains its maximum (terminal ) speed, and moves with uniform speed there after. What is the work done by the gravitational force on the drop in the first half and second half of its journey ? Take density of water `=10^(3)kg//m^(3)`. What is the work done by the resistive force in the entire journey if its speed on reaching the ground is `10ms^(-1)` ?
