Since a rain drop is travelling rather slowly, wouldn't it be a different configuration at high speed? Tom, Redding CA - #216 D/CC /// unsubscribe/change address requests to majordomo@autox.team.net

Don't know how fast it would fall, but it has a terminal velocity. My guess is pretty slow compared to high speed cars. The way to figure terminal velocity is to set the weight equal to drag equal to

Are all rain drops the same size, more or less? What happens if you use a turkey baster in place of the eyedropper? A taller ladder may be required. Bob in connecticut /// unsubscribe/change address

I saw a film of raindrops falling somewhere in the dim past. It was done with high-speed strobe photography but I don't remember who did it. Maybe it was Doc Edgerton at MIT. Anyway, the rain drops

According to the rain drop site largest that a rain drop can be is about 5mm in diameter. They blow apart during the fall otherwise. And since that site has all the particulars including velocities a
