Viscosity & Stokes' Law

The velocity of a small ball of mass 'm' and density d1, when dropped in a container filled with glycerin, becomes constant after some time. If the density of glycerin is d2, then the viscous force acting on the ball, will be:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. At constant velocity: Fv=mg−BF_v = mg - B.
  2. B=Vd2g=md1d2gB = V d_2 g = \frac{m}{d_1}d_2 g
  3. Fv=mg(1−d2d1)F_v = mg\left(1 - \frac{d_2}{d_1}\right)
  4. So the answer is (b).
