The difference between the densities of the steel ball and the liquid is $7000 \,kg \,m^{-3}$. If $g=10 \,ms^{-2}$,then the coefficient of viscosity of the given liquid at room temperature is

The velocity of a small ball of mass $0.3 \, g$ and density $8 \, g/cc$ when dropped in a container filled with glycerine becomes constant after some time. If the density of glycerine is $1.3 \, g/cc$,then the value of the viscous force acting on the ball will be $x \times 10^{-4} \, N$. The value of $x$ is [use $g = 10 \, m/s^2$]. (in $.125$)
