Q. A small drop of water falls from rest through a large height $h$ in air; the final velocity is

Mechanical Properties of Fluids

Solution:

Since drop is falling from a large height it achieves its terminal velocity and then there is no further increase in velocity so $v$ is independent of ' $h$ ' if ' $h$ ' is very large.
