Question

A small spherical ball of radius r , falling through a viscous medium of negligible density has terminal velocity v . Another ball of the same mass but of radius 2 r , falling through the same viscous medium will have terminal velocity:, v 2, v 4, 4 v, 2 v

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

Ignoring buoyancy force, we can write terminal velocity as m g = 6 π η r v ⇒ v ∝ 1 r (as mass is constant) Now, v v ' = r ' r As r ' = 2 r So v ' = v 2
