  • B
    $M g(\rho - \sigma)$
  • C

Two small spherical metal balls,having equal masses,are made from materials of densities $\rho_{1}$ and $\rho_{2}$ (where $\rho_{1} = 8 \rho_{2}$) and have radii of $1 \; mm$ and $2 \; mm$,respectively. They are made to fall vertically (from rest) in a viscous medium whose coefficient of viscosity equals $\eta$ and whose density is $0.1 \rho_{2}$. The ratio of their terminal velocities would be:

Two solid spheres $S_{1}$ and $S_{2}$ of same uniform density fall from rest under gravity in a viscous medium and after some time, reach terminal velocities $v_{1}$ and $v_{2}$ respectively. If the ratio of masses $\frac{m_{1}}{m_{2}}=8$, then $\frac{v_{1}}{v_{2}}$ will be equal to
