Find the viscosity of glycerine $($having density $1.3 \ g \ cm^{-3})$ if a steel ball of $2 \ mm$ radius $($density $8 \ g \ cm^{-3})$ acquires a terminal velocity of $4 \ cm \ s^{-1}$ in falling freely in the tank of glycerine. $(g = 980 \ cm \ s^{-2})$ (in $\text{poise}$)

$A$ spherical liquid drop of radius $r$ acquires the terminal velocity $v_1$ when falling through a gas of viscosity $\eta$. Now the drop is broken into $64$ identical droplets and each droplet acquires terminal velocity $v_2$ falling through the same gas. The ratio of terminal velocities $v_1/v_2$ is . . . . . . .

$A$ metal ball of radius $9 \times 10^{-4} \ m$ and density $10^4 \ kg/m^3$ falls freely under gravity through a distance $h$ and enters a tank of water. Considering that the metal ball has constant velocity in water,the value of $h$ is [coefficient of viscosity of water $= 8.1 \times 10^{-4} \ Pa \cdot s, g = 10 \ m/s^2$,density of water $= 10^3 \ kg/m^3$]. (in $m$)

$125$ small water drops of same size fall through air with constant terminal velocity $4 \,cm/s$. They coalesce to form a big drop. The terminal velocity of the big drop is: (in $\,m/s$)
