When a body falls in air,the resistance of air depends to a great extent on the shape of the body. $3$ different shapes are given in the figure: $(1)$ Disc,$(2)$ Ball,and $(3)$ Cigar-shaped. Identify the combination of air resistances $(R_1, R_2, R_3)$ which truly represents the physical situation. (The cross-sectional areas are the same).

$A$ large drop of oil (density $0.8 \, g/cm^3$ and viscosity $\eta_0$) floats up through a column of another liquid (density $1.2 \, g/cm^3$ and viscosity $\eta_L$). Assuming that the two liquids do not mix,the velocity with which the oil drop rises will depend on.

If a ball of steel (density $\rho = 7.8 \; g \cdot cm^{-3}$) attains a terminal velocity of $10 \; cm \cdot s^{-1}$ when falling in a tank of water (coefficient of viscosity $\eta_{\text{water}} = 8.5 \times 10^{-4} \; Pa \cdot s$),then its terminal velocity in glycerine (density $\rho_{\text{gly}} = 1.2 \; g \cdot cm^{-3}$,coefficient of viscosity $\eta_{\text{gly}} = 13.2 \; Pa \cdot s$) would be nearly:
