$A$ stone dropped from the top of a tower of height $300 \; m$ splashes into the water of a pond near the base of the tower. When is the splash heard at the top,given that the speed of sound in air is $340 \; m s^{-1}$ (in $; s$)? $(g = 9.8 \; m s^{-2})$

$A$ ball is thrown vertically upward with an initial velocity of $150\,m/s$. The ratio of velocity after $3\,s$ and $5\,s$ is $\frac{x+1}{x}$. The value of $x$ is $...........$ Take $g=10\,m/s^2$.

It is a common observation that rain clouds can be at about a kilometer altitude above the ground.
$(a)$ If a rain drop falls from such a height freely under gravity,what will be its speed? Also calculate in $km/h$ $(g = 10\, m/s^2)$.
$(b)$ $A$ typical rain drop is about $4\, mm$ in diameter. Momentum is mass $\times$ speed in magnitude. Estimate its momentum when it hits the ground.
$(c)$ Estimate the time required to flatten the drop.
$(d)$ Rate of change of momentum is force. Estimate how much force such a drop would exert on you.
$(e)$ Estimate the order of magnitude force on an umbrella. Typical lateral separation between two rain drops is $5\, cm$.
(Assume that the umbrella is circular and has a diameter of $1\, m$ and the cloth is not pierced through.)
