When a raindrop falls it increases in size, so its mass at time t is a function of t, m(t). The rate of growth of the mass is km(t) for some positive constant k. When we apply Newton's Law of Motion to the raindrop, we get (mv)' = gm, where v is the velocity of the raindrop (directed downward) and g is the acceleration due to gravity. The terminal velocity of the raindrop is limt→∞ v(t). Find an expression for the terminal velocity in terms of g and k.
