Terminal Velocity question from MHT CET 2026 (14 May, Shift 1)

Q7MHT CET 2026 · 14 MAY · SHIFT 1Medium

Terminal Velocity

Two spherical rain drops reach the surface of the earth with terminal velocities having ratio $16 : 9$ . The ratio of their surface area is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

$v \propto r^2$ and surface area $A = 4\pi r^2 \propto r^2$ .
So $A \propto v$ : $A_1 : A_2 = 16 : 9$
So the answer is (c) $16 : 9$ .
