A small spherical ball of radius \(r\), falling through a viscous medium of negligible density has terminal velocity ' \(v\) '. Another ball of the same mass but of radius \(2 r\), falling through the same viscous medium will have terminal velocity _______.

  1. A \(\frac{\mathrm{v}}{2}\)
  2. B \(\frac{\mathrm{v}}{4}\)
  3. C \(4 \mathrm{v}\)
  4. D \(2 \mathrm{v}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{\mathrm{v}}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since density is negligible hence Buoyancy force will be negligible at terminal velocity. \({Mg}=6 \pi \eta \mathrm{rv}\) \(\mathrm{V} \propto \frac{1}{\mathrm{r}} \quad\) (as mass is constant) Now,…
