Sixty four rain drops of radius 1 mm each falling down with a terminal velocity of \(10 cm / s\) coalesce to form a bigger drop. The terminal velocity of bigger drop is _________ \(cm / s\).

  1. A 120
  2. B 80
  3. C 160
  4. D 40
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 160

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(V _{ T }=\frac{2 r ^2 g}{9 n }[\sigma-\rho]\) \(V _{ T } \propto r ^2\) 64 drop \(64\left(\frac{4}{3} \pi R_1^3\right)=\frac{4}{3} \pi R_2^3\) \(R _2=4 R _1\)…
