A solid steel ball of diameter 3.6 mm acquired terminal velocity \(2.45 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) while falling under gravity through an oil of density \(925 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^{-3}\). Take density of steel as \(7825 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^{-3}\) and g as 9.8 \(\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^2\). The viscosity of the oil in SI unit is

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(1.99\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{T}} \Rightarrow \frac{2}{9} \frac{\left(\rho_0-\rho_{\ell}\right) \mathrm{r}^2 \mathrm{~g}}{\eta}\)
\(\begin{aligned} & \eta=\frac{2}{9}\left(\frac{7825-925}{2.45 \times 10^{-2}}\right) \times(1.8)^2 \times 10^{-6} \times 9.8 \\ & \eta \approx 1.99\end{aligned}\)
