A solid ball of volume \(V\) is dropped in a viscous liquid. It experiences a viscous force \(F\). If the solid ball of volume \(2 V\) of same material is dropped in the same fluid, then the viscous force acting on it will be

  1. A \(n F / 2\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{F} / \mathrm{2}\)
  3. C \(2 F\)
  4. D \(2 n F\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(2 F\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Viscous force, \(F=6 \pi \eta r v\)
but
\(
v \propto r^{2}
\)
\(
\therefore \begin{array}{lll}
F \propto V & \text { (volume) }
\end{array}
\)
So, on doubling the volume of the ball, the viscous force is doubled.
