    $1 \times 10^4 \,J$
  • B
    $1 \times 10^3 \,J$
  • C

The velocity of a small ball of mass $0.3 \, g$ and density $8 \, g/cc$ when dropped in a container filled with glycerine becomes constant after some time. If the density of glycerine is $1.3 \, g/cc$,then the value of the viscous force acting on the ball will be $x \times 10^{-4} \, N$. The value of $x$ is [use $g = 10 \, m/s^2$]. (in $.125$)

Eight identical drops of same radii are falling through air with steady velocity $6 \ cm/s$. If these drops coalesce,then the terminal velocity would be .......... $cm/s$.

When milk is shaken in a glass,it becomes still after some time. Why?

Eight spherical rain drops of the same mass and radius are falling down with a terminal speed of $6 \ cm \ s^{-1}$. If they coalesce to form one big drop,what will be the terminal speed of the bigger drop (in $cm \ s^{-1}$)? (Neglect the buoyancy of the air)

What is the velocity $v$ of a metallic ball of radius $r$ falling in a tank of liquid at the instant when its acceleration is one-half that of a freely falling body? (The densities of metal and of liquid are $\rho$ and $\sigma$ respectively,and the viscosity of the liquid is $\eta$).
