The velocity of a small ball of mass \(\mathrm{M}\) and density \(d,\) when dropped in a container filled with glycerine becomes constant after some time. If the density of glycerine is \(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{2}\), then the viscous force acting on the ball will be :

  1. A \(\frac{\mathrm{Mg}}{2}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{Mg}\)
  3. C \(\frac{3}{2} \mathrm{Mg}\)
  4. D \(2 \mathrm{Mg}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{\mathrm{Mg}}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(w=M g=v d y\) \(F_{B}=M^{\prime} g=v \frac{d}{2} y=\frac{M g}{2}\)
