$A$ spherical solid ball of volume $V$ is made of a material of density $\rho_1$. It is falling through a liquid of density $\rho_2$ $(\rho_2 < \rho_1)$. Assume that the liquid applies a viscous force on the ball that is proportional to the square of its speed $v$,i.e.,$F_{viscous} = -kv^2$ $(k > 0)$. The terminal speed of the ball is

If $f(x) = \begin{cases} \frac{\sin(1+[x])}{[x]}, & \text{for } [x] \neq 0 \\ 0, & \text{for } [x] = 0 \end{cases}$ where $[x]$ denotes the greatest integer not exceeding $x$,then $\lim_{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} f(x)$ is equal to

An electron moves with speed $2 \times 10^5 \ m/s$ along the positive $x$-direction in the presence of a magnetic field of induction $B = (\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} - 3\hat{k}) \ T$. The magnitude of the force experienced by the electron in newtons is (Charge on the electron $= 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ C$)
