Two spheres $P$ and $Q$ of equal radii have densities $\rho_1$ and $\rho_2$,respectively. The spheres are connected by a massless string and placed in liquids $L_1$ and $L_2$ of densities $\sigma_1$ and $\sigma_2$ and viscosities $\eta_1$ and $\eta_2$,respectively. They float in equilibrium with the sphere $P$ in $L_1$ and sphere $Q$ in $L_2$ and the string being taut (see figure). If sphere $P$ alone in $L_2$ has terminal velocity $\overrightarrow{V}_{P}$ and $Q$ alone in $L_1$ has terminal velocity $\overrightarrow{V}_{Q}$,then
$(A)$ $\frac{|\overrightarrow{V}_{P}|}{|\overrightarrow{V}_{Q}|}=\frac{\eta_1}{\eta_2}$
$(B)$ $\frac{|\overrightarrow{V}_{P}|}{|\overrightarrow{V}_{Q}|}=\frac{\eta_2}{\eta_1}$
$(C)$ $\overrightarrow{V}_{P} \cdot \overrightarrow{V}_{Q} > 0$
$(D)$ $\overrightarrow{V}_{P} \cdot \overrightarrow{V}_{Q} < 0$

In an experiment to calculate the coefficient of viscosity of a liquid by measuring terminal velocity, it was observed that a ball of mass $(\frac{\pi}{2}) \ gm$ and radius $0.5 \ cm$ takes $5 \ s$ to fall steadily through a height of $50 \ cm$ inside a long column of liquid of density $1.2 \ gm/cc$. The coefficient of viscosity will be given as: (in $\text{poise}$)

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.

When a body falls in air,the resistance of air depends to a great extent on the shape of the body. $3$ different shapes are given in the figure: $(1)$ Disc,$(2)$ Ball,and $(3)$ Cigar-shaped. Identify the combination of air resistances $(R_1, R_2, R_3)$ which truly represents the physical situation. (The cross-sectional areas are the same).

Eight identical drops of water falling through air with a uniform terminal velocity of $10 \ cm/s$ combine to form a single big drop. The terminal velocity of the big drop will be: (in $cm/s$)
