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 _______.

Pick an option to check your answer.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

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

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{mg}-\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{B}}-\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{v}}=\mathrm{ma}\)

\(\mathrm{a}=0 \text { for constant velocity }\)

\(\mathrm{mg}-\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{B}}=\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{v}}\)

\(\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{v}}=\mathrm{mg}-\mathrm{v} \rho_0 \mathrm{~g}=\mathrm{mg}-\frac{\mathrm{m}}{\rho} \rho_0 \mathrm{~g}=\mathrm{mg}\left(1-\frac{\rho_0}{\rho}\right)\)
