JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 9.1 fluid mechanics

Small water droplets of radius \(0.01 \mathrm{~mm}\) are formed in the upper atmosphere and falling with a terminal velocity of \(10 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s}\). Due to condensation, if \(8 \mathrm{such}\) droplets are coalesced and formed a larger drop, the new terminal velocity will be _______ \(\mathrm{cm} / \mathrm{s}\).

  1. A \(20\)
  2. B \(40\)
  3. C \(50\)
  4. D \(70\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(40\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{m}=\text { mass of small drop }\) \(\mathrm{M}=\text { mass of bigger drop }\) \(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{t}}=\frac{2}{9} \frac{\mathrm{R}^2(\rho-\sigma) \mathrm{g}}{\eta}\) \(8 \propto \mathrm{m}=\mathrm{M}\)…
