8.114 CALC A Variable-Mass Raindrop. In a rocket-propul-
sion problem the mass is variable. Another such problem is a rain-
drop 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

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.
This gives, since Fext

Or, dividing by k,

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. (For many more intriguing aspects of
this problem, see K. S. Krane, American Journal of…

- Questions 68-70 Four hundred millilitres (mL) of a strong brine solution at room temperature was poured into a measuring cylinder (Figure 1). A piece of ice of mass 100 g was then gently placed in the brine solution and allowed to float freely (Figure 2). Changes in the surface level of the liquid in the cylinder were then observed until all the ice had melted.
