Terminal Velocity

A lead sphere of mass ' mm ' falls in viscous liquid with terminal velocity V0\mathrm{V}_0. Another lead sphere of mass ' 8 m ' but of same material will fall through the same liquid with terminal velocity

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Same material: m∝r3m \propto r^3, so 8m⇒r′=2r8m \Rightarrow r' = 2r.
  2. v∝r2⇒v′=4V0v \propto r^2 \Rightarrow v' = 4V_0
  3. So the answer is (c) 4V04V_0.
