The terminal velocity of a metallic ball of radius 6 mm in a viscous fluid is \(20 cm / s\). The terminal velocity of another ball of same material and having radius 3 mm in the same fluid will be _________ \(cm / s\).
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) 5
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
We know:
Terminal velocity \(\propto(\text { radius })^2\)
\(\frac{\left( v _{ T }\right)_1}{\left( v _{ T }\right)_2}=\left(\frac{6}{3}\right)^2\)
\(\left( v _{ T }\right)_2=\frac{\left( v _{ T }\right)_1}{4}=5 cm / sec\)
Terminal velocity \(\propto(\text { radius })^2\)
\(\frac{\left( v _{ T }\right)_1}{\left( v _{ T }\right)_2}=\left(\frac{6}{3}\right)^2\)
\(\left( v _{ T }\right)_2=\frac{\left( v _{ T }\right)_1}{4}=5 cm / sec\)
