An open railway car of mass W is running on smooth horizontal rails under rain falling vertically down which it catches and retains in the car. If v0 is the initial velocity of the car and k the mass of rain falling into the car per unit time, show that the distance travelled in time t is (W v0 / k) ln(1 + kt / W ).
