$Assertion :$ Falling raindrops acquire a terminal velocity.
$Reason :$ A constant force in the direction of motion and a velocity dependent force opposite to the direction of motion, always result in the acquisition of terminal velocity.

    A flat plate moves normally with a speed ${v_1}$ towards a horizontal jet of water of uniform area of cross-section. The jet discharges water at the rate of volume $V$ per second at a speed of ${v_2}$. The density of water is $\rho $. Assume that water splashes along the surface of the plate at right angles to the original motion. The magnitude of the force acting on the plate due to the jet of water is
