Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: $A$ spherical body of radius $(5 \pm 0.1) \ mm$ having a particular density is falling through a liquid of constant density. The percentage error in the calculation of its terminal velocity is $4\,\%$.
Reason $R$: The terminal velocity of the spherical body falling through the liquid is inversely proportional to its radius.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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.
Medium
View Solution$A$ spherical body of mass $m$ and radius $r$ is allowed to fall in a medium of viscosity $\eta$. The time in which the velocity of the body increases from zero to $0.63$ times the terminal velocity $(v_t)$ is called the time constant $(\tau)$. Dimensionally,$\tau$ can be represented by:

View SolutionTwo spheres of different material are falling through a liquid of density $\rho_L = 2 \times 10^3 \ kg/m^3$ with the same uniform terminal speed. The density of sphere $1$ is $\rho_1 = 8 \times 10^3 \ kg/m^3$ and the density of sphere $2$ is $\rho_2 = 11 \times 10^3 \ kg/m^3$. The ratio of their radii $(r_1/r_2)$ is:
