Problem

The air resistance force acting on fog drops is proportional to the product of the radius and velocity: f = γ\gammarv. Drops of radius r = 0.1 mm, falling from a great height, have a speed of about 1 m near the ground. What speed will s drops have if their radius is half as large? ten times less?
