Eight spherical rain drops of the same mass and radius are falling down with a terminal speed of $6 \,cm \,s^{-1}$. If they coalesce to form one big drop, what will be the terminal speed of the bigger drop? (Neglect the buoyancy of the air)

  • A
    $1.5 \,cm \,s^{-1}$
  • B
    $6 \,cm \,s^{-1}$
  • C
    $24 \,cm \,s^{-1}$
  • D
    $32 \,cm \,s^{-1}$

In an experiment to verify Stokes' law,a small spherical ball of radius $r$ and density $\rho$ falls under gravity through a distance $h$ in air before entering a tank of water. If the terminal velocity of the ball inside water is the same as its velocity just before entering the water surface,then the value of $h$ is proportional to: (ignore viscosity of air)
