In the experiment for measurement of viscosity ' \(\eta\) ' of given liquid with a ball having radius \(R\), consider following statements.
A. Graph between terminal velocity V and R will be a parabola.
B. The terminal velocities of different diameter balls are constant for a given liquid.
C. Measurement of terminal velocity is dependent on the temperature.
D. This experiment can be utilized to assess the density of a given liquid.
E. If balls are dropped with some initial speed, the value of \(\eta\) will change.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A \(\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B}\) and E Only
  2. B B, D and E Only
  3. C A, C and D Only
  4. D C, D and E Only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) A, C and D Only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The terminal velocity of ball of radius \(R\) inside a liquid of viscosity \(\eta\) can be written as \(V_T=\frac{2 R^2 g}{n}(\sigma-\rho)\), where \(\sigma\) is the density of ball and \(\delta\) is the density of the liquid. Hence, \(A\) is correct since \(V_T \propto R^2\)…
