JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 9.1 fluid mechanics
A solid sphere, of radius \(R\) acquires a terminal velocity \(\nu_1 \) when falling (due to gravity) through a viscous fluid having a coefficient of viscosity \(\eta \). The sphere is broken into \(27\) identical solid spheres. If each of these spheres acquires a terminal velocity, \(\nu_2\), when falling through the same fluid, the ratio \((\nu_1/\nu_2)\) equals
- A \(27\)
- B \(1/27\)
- C \(9\)
- D \(1/9\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(9\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
We have \({V_T} = \frac{2}{g}\frac{{{r^2}}}{\eta }\left( {{\rho _0} - {\rho _\ell }} \right)g\) \( \Rightarrow {V_T} \propto {r^2}\) Since mass of the sphere wll be same \(\therefore \rho \frac{4}{3}\pi {R^3} = 27 \cdot \frac{4}{3}\pi {r^3}\rho \)…
