The velocity of a small ball of mass $m$ and density $\rho$ when dropped in a container filled with glycerine of density $\sigma$ becomes constant after some time. The viscous force acting on the ball in the final stage is

  • A
    $mg\left( \frac{\sigma}{\rho} \right)$
  • B
    $mg\left( 1 + \frac{\sigma}{\rho} \right)$
  • C
    $mg\left( 1 - \frac{\sigma}{\rho} \right)$
  • D
    $mg$

On which factors does terminal velocity depend? Explain.

$A$ spherical ball of radius $1 \times 10^{-4} \,m$ and density $10^5 \,kg/m^3$ 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, then the value of $h$ is approximately: (The coefficient of viscosity of water is $9.8 \times 10^{-6} \,N s/m^2$) (in $\,m$)
