The terminal velocity of a liquid drop of radius $r$ falling through air is $v$. If two such drops are combined to form a bigger drop,the terminal velocity with which the bigger drop falls through air is (ignore any buoyant force due to air).

  • A
    $\sqrt{2} v$
  • B
    $2 v$
  • C
    $\sqrt[3]{4} v$
  • D
    $\sqrt[3]{2} v$

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

In an experiment to calculate the coefficient of viscosity of a liquid by measuring terminal velocity, it was observed that a ball of mass $(\frac{\pi}{2}) \ gm$ and radius $0.5 \ cm$ takes $5 \ s$ to fall steadily through a height of $50 \ cm$ inside a long column of liquid of density $1.2 \ gm/cc$. The coefficient of viscosity will be given as: (in $\text{poise}$)

$A$ small metal sphere of mass $M$ and density $d_{1}$,when dropped in a jar filled with liquid,moves with terminal velocity after some time. The viscous force acting on the sphere is ($d_{2} =$ density of liquid,$g =$ gravitational acceleration).
