$A$ small spherical ball of radius $0.1 \,mm$ and density $10^{4} \,kg \,m^{-3}$ falls freely under gravity through a distance $h$ before entering a tank of water. If after entering the water the velocity of the ball does not change and it continues to fall with the same constant velocity inside the water,then the value of $h$ will be $m$. (Given $g = 10 \,m \,s^{-2}$,viscosity of water $\eta = 1.0 \times 10^{-5} \,N \,s \,m^{-2}$,density of water $\rho_w = 10^3 \,kg \,m^{-3}$)

$A$ spherical ball of radius $1 \text{ mm}$ and density $10.5 \text{ g/cc}$ is dropped in glycerine of coefficient of viscosity $9.8 \text{ poise}$ and density $1.5 \text{ g/cc}$. Viscous force on the ball when it attains constant velocity is $3696 \times 10^{-x} \text{ N}$. The value of $x$ is (Given, $g = 9.8 \text{ m/s}^2$ and $\pi = 22/7$)

$A$ sphere is dropped under gravity through a fluid of viscosity $\eta$. If the average acceleration is half of the initial acceleration,the time to attain the terminal velocity is ($\rho$ = density of sphere; $r$ = radius).
