$A$ metal sphere of radius $R$ and density $\varrho_{1}$ moves with terminal velocity $v_{1}$ through a liquid of density $\sigma$. Another sphere of the same radius but of density $\varrho_{2}$ moves through the same liquid. Its terminal velocity will be:

  • A
    $\left[\frac{\varrho_{1}-\sigma}{\varrho_{2}-\sigma}\right] v_{1}$
  • B
    $\left[\frac{\varrho_{2}+\sigma}{\varrho_{1}+\sigma}\right] v_{1}$
  • C
    $\left[\frac{\varrho_{1}+\varrho_{2}}{\sigma}\right] v_{1}$
  • D
    $\left[\frac{\varrho_{2}-\sigma}{\varrho_{1}-\sigma}\right] v_{1}$

The speed of a ball of radius $2 \,cm$ in a viscous liquid is $20 \,cm / s$. What will be the speed of a ball of radius $1 \,cm$ in the same liquid (in $\,cm / s$)?

$A$ spherical body of mass $m$ and radius $r$ is allowed to fall in a medium of viscosity $\eta$. The time in which the velocity of the body increases from zero to $0.63$ times the terminal velocity $(v_t)$ is called the time constant $(\tau)$. Dimensionally,$\tau$ can be represented by:

If the terminal speed of a sphere of gold (density $= 19.5 \times 10^3 \ kg/m^3$) is $0.2 \ m/s$ in a viscous liquid (density $= 1.5 \times 10^3 \ kg/m^3$), find the terminal speed (in $m/s$) of a sphere of silver (density $= 10.5 \times 10^3 \ kg/m^3$) of the same size in the same liquid.
