It is a common observation that rain clouds can be at about a kilometer altitude above the ground.
$(a)$ If a rain drop falls from such a height freely under gravity,what will be its speed? Also calculate in $km/h$ $(g = 10\, m/s^2)$.
$(b)$ $A$ typical rain drop is about $4\, mm$ in diameter. Momentum is mass $\times$ speed in magnitude. Estimate its momentum when it hits the ground.
$(c)$ Estimate the time required to flatten the drop.
$(d)$ Rate of change of momentum is force. Estimate how much force such a drop would exert on you.
$(e)$ Estimate the order of magnitude force on an umbrella. Typical lateral separation between two rain drops is $5\, cm$.
(Assume that the umbrella is circular and has a diameter of $1\, m$ and the cloth is not pierced through.)

$A$ stone thrown upward with a speed $u$ from the top of a tower reaches the ground with a velocity $3u$. The height of the tower is (in $u^2/g$)
