In a rocket-propulsion problem the mass is variable. Another such problem is a raindrop falling through a cloud of small water droplets. Some of these small droplets adhere to the raindrop, thereby increasing its mass as it falls. The force on the raindrop is
Fext=dp/dt=m dv/dt+v dm/dt
Suppose the mass of the raindrop depends on the distance x that it has fallen. Then m = kx, where k is a constant, and dm/dt=kv
dm/dt=kv This gives, since Fext=mg
Fext=mg,
mg=m dv/dt+v(kv)
Or, dividing by k,
xg=x dv/dt+v2
This is a differential equation that has a solution of the form v = at, where a is the acceleration and is constant. Take the initial velocity of the raindrop to be zero.
(a) Using the proposed solution for v find the acceleration a.
(b) Find the distance the raindrop has fallen in t = 3.00 s.
(c) Given that k = 2.00 g/m, find the mass of the raindrop at t = 3.00 s.
