The velocity of a small ball of mass $M$ and density $d_1$ when dropped in a container filled with glycerin becomes constant after some time. If the density of glycerin is $d_2$,the viscous force acting on the ball is ($g$ = acceleration due to gravity).

  • A
    $Mg \frac{d_1}{d_2}$
  • B
    $Mgd_1 d_2$
  • C
    $Mg(d_1-d_2)$
  • D
    $Mg(1-\frac{d_2}{d_1})$
