$A$ metal sphere of mass $m$ and density $\sigma_{1}$ falls with terminal velocity through a container containing liquid. The density of the liquid is $\sigma_{2}$. The viscous force acting on the sphere is

  • A
    $mg(1 - \frac{\sigma_{2}}{\sigma_{1}})$
  • B
    $mg(1 - \frac{\sigma_{1}}{\sigma_{2}})$
  • C
    $mg(1 + \frac{\sigma_{1}}{\sigma_{2}})$
  • D
    $mg(1 + \frac{\sigma_{2}}{\sigma_{1}})$
