Terminal Velocity question from MHT CET 2026 (13 May, Shift 1)

Q8MHT CET 2026 · 13 MAY · SHIFT 1Medium

Terminal Velocity

Two solid spheres of same material but of mass M and 8M fall simultaneously on a viscous liquid and their terminal velocities are V and nV, then the value of n is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

Same material: $M \propto r^3$ , so $8M \Rightarrow r' = 2r$ .
$v \propto r^2 \Rightarrow v' = 4V$
So $n = 4$ , answer (c).
