(N/A) The terminal velocity $v_t$ of a spherical object of radius $r$ and density $\rho$ falling through a viscous fluid of density $\sigma$ and coefficient of viscosity $\eta$ is given by the formula:
$v_t = \frac{2r^2(\rho - \sigma)g}{9\eta}$
Where:
$r$ = radius of the sphere
$\rho$ = density of the sphere
$\sigma$ = density of the fluid
$g$ = acceleration due to gravity
$\eta$ = coefficient of viscosity of the fluid

We have three beakers $A, B$,and $C$ containing glycerine,water,and kerosene respectively. They are stirred vigorously and placed on a table. The liquid which comes to rest at the earliest is

An air bubble of radius $1 \ cm$ rises from the bottom portion through a liquid of density $1.5 \ g/cc$ at a constant speed of $0.25 \ cm \ s^{-1}$. If the density of air is neglected,the coefficient of viscosity of the liquid is approximately,(in $Pa \ s$):

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 $.125$)
