It is a common observation that rain clouds can be at about a kilometer altitude above the ground.
If a rain drop falls from such a height freely under gravity, what will be its speed? Also calculate in km/h. `(G = 10 m//s^2)`.

It is well known that a rain drop falls under the influence of the downward gravitational force and the opposing resistive force. The latter is known to be proportional to the speed of the drop, but is otherwise undetermined. Consider a drop of mass 1.0g falling from a height of 1.00km. It hits the ground with a speed of 50.0ms^(-1) (b) What is the work done by the unknown resistive force ?
