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.

Two solids $A$ and $ B$ float in water. It is observed that $A$ floats with half its volume immersed and $B$ floats with $2/3$ of its volume immersed. Compare the densities of $A$ and $B$
A cube of ice floats partly in water and partly in kerosene oil. The radio of volume of ice immersed in water to that in kerosene oil (specific gravity of Kerosene oil $=0.8$, specific gravity of ice $=0.9$ )
A raindrop with radius $R=0.2\, {mm}$ fells from a cloud at a height $h=2000\, {m}$ above the ground. Assume that the drop is spherical throughout its fall and the force of buoyance may be neglected, then the terminal speed attainde by the raindrop is : (In ${ms}^{-1}$)
[Density of water $f_{{w}}=1000\;{kg} {m}^{-3}$ and density of air $f_{{a}}=1.2\; {kg} {m}^{-3}, {g}=10 \;{m} / {s}^{2}$ Coefficient of viscosity of air $=18 \times 10^{-5} \;{Nsm}^{-2}$ ]
Figure here shows the vertical cross section of a vessel filled with a liquid of density $\rho$. The normal thrust per unit area on the walls of the vessel at the point $P$, as shown, will be
