    $v/2$
  • B
    $v/4$
  • C
    $4v$
  • D

The diameter of an air bubble,which was initially $2\,mm$,rises steadily through a solution of density $1750\,kg\,m^{-3}$ at the rate of $0.35\,cm\,s^{-1}$. The coefficient of viscosity of the solution is (in poise,nearest integer). (The density of air is negligible).

$A$ copper ball of radius $r$ travels with a uniform speed $v$ in a viscous fluid. If the ball is changed with another ball of radius $2r$,then the new uniform speed will be

The velocity of a small ball of mass $M$ and density $d_1$ when dropped in a container filled with glycerin becomes constant after some time. If the density of glycerin is $d_2$,the viscous force acting on the ball is ($g$ = acceleration due to gravity).

In Millikan's oil drop experiment,what is the terminal speed of an uncharged drop of radius $2.0 \times 10^{-5} \; m$ and density $1.2 \times 10^{3} \; kg \; m^{-3}$? Take the viscosity of air at the temperature of the experiment to be $1.8 \times 10^{-5} \; Pa \; s$. How much is the viscous force on the drop at that speed? Neglect buoyancy of the drop due to air.
