Terminal Velocity question from MHT CET 2026 (19 May, Shift 1)

Q12MHT CET 2026 · 19 MAY · SHIFT 1Medium

Terminal Velocity

' $n$ ' identical small drops of water are falling down vertically through a medium each with a terminal velocity ' $v$ '. If they combine to form a single drop, then its terminal velocity is $xv$ . The value of $x$ is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

Volume conserved: $R = n^{1/3}r$ .
$v \propto r^2 \Rightarrow v' = n^{2/3}v$
So $x = n^{2/3}$ , answer (b).
