A spherical body of radius \(r\) and density \(\sigma\) falls freely through a viscous liquid having density \(\rho\) and viscosity \(\eta\) and attains a terminal velocity \(v _0\). Estimated maximum error in the quantity \(\eta\) is : (Ignore errors associated with \(\sigma, \rho\) and g , gravitational acceleration)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{2 \Delta r }{ r }+\frac{\Delta v _0}{ v _0}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(v _0=\frac{2}{9} \frac{ r ^2 g}{ n }\left(\rho_{ B }-\rho_{ L }\right)\)
\(n =\frac{2}{9} \frac{ r ^2 g}{ v _0}\left(\rho_{ B }-\rho_{ L }\right)\)
\(\frac{\Delta n }{ Il }=\frac{2 \Delta r }{ r }+\frac{\Delta v _0}{ v _0}\)
