Spherical balls of radius $r$ are falling in a viscous fluid of viscosity $\eta$ with a velocity $v$. The retarding viscous force acting on the spherical ball is

  • A
    Inversely proportional to $r$ but directly proportional to velocity $v$
  • B
    Directly proportional to both radius $r$ and velocity $v$
  • C
    Inversely proportional to both radius $r$ and velocity $v$
  • D
    Directly proportional to $r$ but inversely proportional to $v$

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 $.125$)
