RE: raindrop drop
The equation I sent was in HTML and so you mis-read it. The diameter must
be entered in mm and the speed will then be in m/s. You cant enter it in
inches and get mi/hr. At 2mm diamter yu should get about 6.5 m/s
The aerodynamics of air flow around a building do not allow for a simple
calculation of wind angle with falling droplet. This does work in the field
away from buildings.
The shape of rain drops are actually oblate spheroids, (spheres with the
nose smushed in) not teardrops.
