    Because the drop is moving at constant velocity the net force acting on the raindrop is 0N. Therefore the force of gravity, say XN, pulling the drop downward is canceled out by the force of the air pressing onto the raindrop. So this force will be equal and opposite to the force of gravity, - XN.
