$A$ rain drop of diameter $1 \ mm$ falls with a terminal velocity of $0.7 \ ms^{-1}$ in air. If the coefficient of viscosity of air is $2 \times 10^{-5} \ Pa \cdot s$, the viscous force on the rain drop is

  • A
    $13.2 \times 10^{-8} \ N$
  • B
    $6.6 \times 10^{-8} \ N$
  • C
    $26.4 \times 10^{-8} \ N$
  • D
    $10.4 \times 10^{-8} \ N$
