Two spheres of different material are falling through liquid of density \(2 \times 10^3 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^3\) with same uniform speed. The density of sphere 1 and that of sphere 2 is \(8 \times 10^3 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^3\) and \(11 \times 10^3 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^3\) respectively. The ratio of their radii is (first to second sphere)

  1. A \(\frac{11}{8}\)
  2. B \(\sqrt{\frac{11}{8}}\)
  3. C \(\frac{3}{2}\)
  4. D \(\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{r_1}{r_2} = \sqrt{\frac{\rho_2 - \rho_l}{\rho_1 - \rho_l}}\) \(\frac{r_1}{r_2} = \sqrt{\frac{(11 \times 10^3) - (2 \times 10^3)}{(8 \times 10^3) - (2 \times 10^3)}}\)
