(C) The terminal velocity $v_T$ of a sphere of radius $r$ and density $\sigma$ falling in a liquid of density $ho$ and viscosity $\eta$ is given by $v_T = \frac{2r^2(\sigma - ho)g}{9\eta}$.Since the masses are equal,$m = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 \sigma$,which implies $\sigma \propto \frac{1}{r^3}$.Substituting $\sigma = \frac{m}{\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3}$ into the terminal velocity formula:$v_T = \frac{2r^2}{9\eta} \left( \frac{m}{\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3} - ho ight)g = \frac{2g}{9\eta} \left( \frac{3m}{4\pi r} - r^2ho ight)$.For a liquid of infinite column where the viscous force dominates or assuming the density of the sphere is much larger than the liquid $(\sigma \gg ho)$,we have $v_T \propto r^2 \sigma$.Since $r^3 \sigma = 	ext{constant}$,then $\sigma \propto r^{-3}$.Therefore,$v_T \propto r^2 \cdot r^{-3} = r^{-1} = \frac{1}{r}$.Thus,$\frac{v_1}{v_2} = \frac{r_2}{r_1}$.
