Find the differential equation of motion of a raindrop falling through a mist collecting mass as it hills. Assume that the drop remains spherical and that the rate of accretion is proportional to the cross-sectional area of the drop multiplied by the speed of fall. Show that if the drop starts from rest when it is infinitely small, then the acceleration is constant and equal to g/7.
