$A$ water drop whose radius is $0.0015 \, mm$ is falling through the air. If the coefficient of viscosity of air is $1.8 \times 10^{-5} \, kg/(m \cdot s)$,then assuming the buoyancy force is negligible,the terminal velocity of the drop will be:

  • A
    $2.72 \times 10^{-4} \, m/s$
  • B
    $2.72 \times 10^{-3} \, m/s$
  • C
    $2.72 \times 10^{-2} \, m/s$
  • D
    $2.72 \times 10^{-1} \, m/s$

$A$ copper ball of radius $3.0 \,mm$ falls in an oil tank of viscosity $1 \,kg / ms$. Then, the terminal velocity of the copper ball will be (Density of oil $= 1.5 \times 10^3 \,kg / m^3$, Density of copper $= 9 \times 10^3 \,kg / m^3$ and $g = 10 \,m / s^2$.)

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
