An object falling through a fluid is observed to have acceleration given by $a = g - bv$,where $g$ is the gravitational acceleration and $b$ is a constant. After a long time of release,it is observed to fall with a constant speed. What must be the value of this constant speed?

  • A
    $g/b$
  • B
    $b/g$
  • C
    $gb$
  • D
    $g+b$

$A$ ball of radius $r$ and density $\rho$ falls freely under gravity through a distance $h$ before entering water. The velocity of the ball does not change even on entering the water. If the viscosity of water is $\eta$ and the density of water is $\sigma$ (assumed to be $1$ unit for calculation),the value of $h$ is given by:
