A small ball of mass \(m\) and density \(\rho\) is dropped in a viscous liquid of density \(\rho_0\). After sometime, the ball falls with constant velocity. The viscous force on the ball is _______.

  1. A \(\mathrm{mg}\left(\frac{\rho_0}{\rho}-1\right)\)
  2. B \(\operatorname{mg}\left(1+\frac{\rho}{\rho_0}\right)\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{mg}\left(1-\rho \rho_0\right)\)
  4. D \(m g\left(1-\frac{\rho_0}{\rho}\right)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(m g\left(1-\frac{\rho_0}{\rho}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{mg}-\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{B}}-\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{v}}=\mathrm{ma}\) \(\mathrm{a}=0 \text { for constant velocity }\) \(\mathrm{mg}-\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{B}}=\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{v}}\)…
