The velocity of a small ball of mass $M$ and density $d_1$ when dropped in a container filled with glycerine becomes constant after some time. If the density of glycerine is $d_2,$ the viscous force acting on the ball will be

  • A
    $Mg\left(1 - \frac{d_1}{d_2}\right)$
  • B
    $Mg\left(1 - \frac{d_2}{d_1}\right)$
  • C
    $Mg\,d_1$
  • D
    $Mg\,d_2$

If the terminal speed of a sphere $A$ [density $\rho_A = 7.5 \ kg \ m^{-3}$] is $0.4 \ ms^{-1}$ in a viscous liquid [density $\rho_L = 1.5 \ kg \ m^{-3}$],the terminal speed of sphere $B$ [density $\rho_B = 3 \ kg \ m^{-3}$] of the same size in the same liquid is: (in $ms^{-1}$)

Find the viscosity of glycerine $($having density $1.3 \ g \ cm^{-3})$ if a steel ball of $2 \ mm$ radius $($density $8 \ g \ cm^{-3})$ acquires a terminal velocity of $4 \ cm \ s^{-1}$ in falling freely in the tank of glycerine. $(g = 980 \ cm \ s^{-2})$ (in $\text{poise}$)

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?

$A$ tiny spherical oil drop carrying a net charge $q$ is balanced in still air, with a vertical uniform electric field of strength $\frac{81}{7} \pi \times 10^5 \,V / m$. When the field is switched $OFF$, the drop is observed to fall with terminal velocity $2 \times 10^{-3} \,m / s$. Here $g=9.8 \,m / s^2$, viscosity of air is $\eta = 1.8 \times 10^{-5} \,N s / m^2$ and density of oil is $\rho = 900 \,kg / m^3$. The magnitude of $q$ is
