Equation of motion for a body falling from a height in presence of air (fluid with buoyancy and drag force)..
y = displacement, v = velocity, b = drag factor/coefficient
d_ice = density of ice, d_air = density of air
m = mass of hailstone = 4π/3 * R³ * d_ice
Buoyancy force = mg * d_air/d_ice = 4π/3 R³ * d_air * g
drag force = - b v
m dv/dt = mg [1 - d_air/d_ice] - b v
dv/dt = g [1 - d_air / d_ice] - b/m * v
= 0 for terminal velocity
So v_t = g [1 - d_air /d_ice ] * m/b
= 4π/3 r³ [d_ice - d_air] / b
Terminal velocity is proportional to mass , volume or cube of radius of the hailstone.
Ratio of radii = 1 : 2.
Ratio of terminal velocities = 1 : 8
