Shape Of Raindrop's...

Classical Mechanics Level pending

Raindrops aren't really shaped like drops; they are perfectly round!

is it correct or not ?

It Can't determinable
No Yes

Yes,it is right that raindrops are perfectly round ...due to force exactlly against the molecule it inclined to reduce the obstacle or interaction with air so it get rounded ...

It actually is not perfectly round, as there is air friction as it falls. Shape of Raindrop

but the friction reduce by centre of gravity of raindrop and circular edge.

You mean to say that there is no air resistance?? (You are seeing net force, not the force on each individual particle/surface)

there is resistance but it act on spherical edge. so it reduce to form drop like shape.

But there will be more resistance in front of drop because it is moving in that direction so it will encounter more no. of collisions from gas molecules. So, its shape must not be perfectly spherical.
