$A$ spherical body of radius $r$ and density $\sigma$ falls freely through a viscous liquid having density $\rho$ and viscosity $\eta$ and attains a terminal velocity $v_0$. The estimated maximum error in the quantity $\eta$ is: (Ignore errors associated with $\sigma, \rho$ and $g$, gravitational acceleration)

  • A
    $2 \frac{\Delta r}{r} - \frac{\Delta v_0}{v_0}$
  • B
    $2 \frac{\Delta r}{r} + \frac{\Delta v_0}{v_0}$
  • C
    $2 \left[ \frac{\Delta r}{r} + \frac{\Delta v_0}{v_0} \right]$
  • D
    $2 \left[ \frac{\Delta r}{r} - \frac{\Delta v_0}{v_0} \right]$
