Two solid spheres of radii $2 \ mm$ and $4 \ mm$ are tied to the two ends of a light string and released in a liquid of specific gravity $1.3$ and coefficient of viscosity $1 \ Pa \cdot s$. The string is just taut when the two spheres are completely submerged in the liquid. If the density of the materials of the two spheres is $2800 \ kg \cdot m^{-3}$,then the terminal velocity of the system of the spheres is (take $g = 10 \ m \cdot s^{-2}$):

An object falling through a fluid is observed to have acceleration given by $a = g - bv$,where $g$ is the gravitational acceleration and $b$ is a constant. After a long time of release,it is observed to fall with a constant speed. What must be the value of this constant speed?
