The correct answer is: 109 m
Given, diameter of spherical ball d=1 cm=0.01 m

Radius of spherical ball r=0.012 m

Density of spherical ball ρ=5×103 kg m-3

Density of liquid σ=3×103 kg m-3

Coefficient of viscosity η=0.1 N-s m-2

We know that,

Terminal velocity is given by

v=29gr2ρ-ση

=29×10×0.0122×5×103-3×1030.1 m s-1

v=109 m s-1

Distance travelled in one second after attaining terminal velocity=109×1 m

=109 m
