$A$ large drop of oil (density $0.8 \, g/cm^3$ and viscosity $\eta_0$) floats up through a column of another liquid (density $1.2 \, g/cm^3$ and viscosity $\eta_L$). Assuming that the two liquids do not mix,the velocity with which the oil drop rises will depend on.

  • A
    $\eta_0$ only
  • B
    $\eta_L$ only
  • C
    both on $\eta_0$ and $\eta_L$
  • D
    neither $\eta_0$ nor $\eta_L$

In an experiment to verify Stokes' law,a small spherical ball of radius $r$ and density $\rho$ falls under gravity through a distance $h$ in air before entering a tank of water. If the terminal velocity of the ball inside water is the same as its velocity just before entering the water surface,then the value of $h$ is proportional to: (ignore viscosity of air)

$A$ solid steel ball of diameter $3.6 \ mm$ acquires a terminal velocity of $2.45 \times 10^{-2} \ m/s$ while falling under gravity through an oil of density $925 \ kg/m^3$. Take the density of steel as $7825 \ kg/m^3$ and $g$ as $9.8 \ m/s^2$. The viscosity of the oil in $SI$ units is:

$A$ 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:

$A$ spherical ball of radius $1 \times 10^{-4} \,m$ and density $10^4 \,kg \,m^{-3}$ falls freely under gravity through a distance $h$ before entering a tank of water. If the velocity of the ball does not change after entering the water, then the value of $h$ is:
