The velocity of small spherical ball of mass ' \(m\) ' and density ' \(d_1\) ', when dropped in a container filled with glycerine becomes constant after some time. The viscous force acting on the ball if density of glycerine is ' \(\mathrm{d}_2\) ' is

  1. A \(\mathrm{mg}\left(1-\frac{\mathrm{d}_2}{\mathrm{~d}_1}\right)\)
  2. B \(\operatorname{mg}\left(1+\frac{\mathrm{d}_2}{\mathrm{~d}_1}\right)\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{mg}\left(1-\frac{\mathrm{d}_1}{\mathrm{~d}_2}\right)\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{mg}\left(1+\frac{\mathrm{d}_1}{\mathrm{~d}_2}\right)\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{mg}\left(1-\frac{\mathrm{d}_2}{\mathrm{~d}_1}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( F_{viscous} + F_{buoyant} = F_{gravity} \) \( F_{viscous} = mg - V_{ball} d_2 g \)
