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.

$A$ solid sphere of radius $R$ acquires a terminal velocity $\nu_1$ when falling (due to gravity) through a viscous fluid having a coefficient of viscosity $\eta$. The sphere is broken into $27$ identical solid spheres. If each of these spheres acquires a terminal velocity $\nu_2$ when falling through the same fluid,the ratio $(\nu_1/\nu_2)$ equals:
