    $10 \text{ cm/s}$
  • B
    $2.5 \text{ cm/s}$
  • C
    $5 \times (4)^{1/3} \text{ cm/s}$
  • D
    $5 \times \sqrt{2} \text{ cm/s}$

$A$ water drop of radius $1\,\mu m$ falls in a situation where the effect of buoyant force is negligible. The coefficient of viscosity of air is $1.8 \times 10^{-5}\,Nsm^{-2}$ and its density is negligible as compared to that of water $10^{3}\,kgm^{-3}$. The terminal velocity of the water drop is . . . . . . $\times 10^{-6}\,ms^{-1}$. (Take acceleration due to gravity $= 10\,ms^{-2}$)

Eight equal drops of water,each of radius $r = 2 \ mm$,are falling through air with a terminal velocity of $16 \ cm/s$. The eight drops combine to form a single big drop. The terminal velocity of the bigger drop will be $.... \ cm/s$.

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.
