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
$(A)$ $\frac{|\overrightarrow{V}_{P}|}{|\overrightarrow{V}_{Q}|}=\frac{\eta_1}{\eta_2}$
$(B)$ $\frac{|\overrightarrow{V}_{P}|}{|\overrightarrow{V}_{Q}|}=\frac{\eta_2}{\eta_1}$
$(C)$ $\overrightarrow{V}_{P} \cdot \overrightarrow{V}_{Q} > 0$
$(D)$ $\overrightarrow{V}_{P} \cdot \overrightarrow{V}_{Q} < 0$

Small water droplets of radius $0.01 \,mm$ are formed in the upper atmosphere and falling with a terminal velocity of $10 \,cm/s$. Due to condensation, if $8$ such droplets are coalesced to form a larger drop, the new terminal velocity will be ........... $cm/s$.

$A$ solid sphere falls with a terminal velocity of $10 \, cm/s$ in the Earth's gravitational field. If it is allowed to fall freely in a region outside the gravitational field of the Earth,the terminal velocity will be:

If an air bubble of diameter $2 \text{ mm}$ rises steadily through a liquid of density $2000 \text{ kg/m}^3$ at a rate of $0.5 \text{ cm/s}$,then the coefficient of viscosity of the liquid is . . . . . . $\text{Poise}$. (Take $g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2$)

The terminal velocity of a copper ball of radius $2.0 \; mm$ falling through a tank of oil at $20 \; ^{\circ}C$ is $6.5 \; cm \; s^{-1}$. Compute the viscosity of the oil at $20 \; ^{\circ}C$. Density of oil is $1.5 \times 10^{3} \; kg \; m^{-3}$,density of copper is $8.9 \times 10^{3} \; kg \; m^{-3}$.
