$A$ small metal sphere of mass $M$ and density $d_{1}$,when dropped in a jar filled with liquid,moves with terminal velocity after some time. The viscous force acting on the sphere is ($d_{2} =$ density of liquid,$g =$ gravitational acceleration).

  • A
    $Mg(1 - \frac{d_{2}}{d_{1}})$
  • B
    $Mg(\frac{d_{2}}{d_{1}})$
  • C
    $Mg(1 - \frac{d_{1}}{d_{2}})$
  • D
    $Mg - (\frac{d_{1}}{d_{2}})$

In Millikan's oil drop experiment, a charged drop falls with terminal velocity $V$. If an electric field $E$ is applied in a vertically upward direction, then it starts moving in an upward direction with terminal velocity $2V$. If the magnitude of the electric field is decreased to $E/2$, then the terminal velocity will become

$A$ spherical solid ball of volume $V$ is made of a material of density $\rho_1$. It is falling through a liquid of density $\rho_2$ $(\rho_2 < \rho_1)$. Assume that the liquid applies a viscous force on the ball that is proportional to the square of its speed $v$,i.e.,$F_{viscous} = -kv^2$ $(k > 0)$. The terminal speed of the ball is:
