What is the terminal velocity of a rain drop of radius $0.02 \ mm$ (in $cm \ s^{-1}$)? [Note that the coefficient of viscosity of air is $1.8 \times 10^{-5} \ N \ s \ m^{-2}$, density of water is $1000 \ kg \ m^{-3}$. Use $g = 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$ and density of air can be neglected in comparison with the density of water.]
