$A$ solid steel ball of diameter $3.6 \ mm$ acquires a terminal velocity of $2.45 \times 10^{-2} \ m/s$ while falling under gravity through an oil of density $925 \ kg/m^3$. Take the density of steel as $7825 \ kg/m^3$ and $g$ as $9.8 \ m/s^2$. The viscosity of the oil in $SI$ units is:

  • A
    $2.18$
  • B
    $2.38$
  • C
    $1.68$
  • D
    $1.99$

What is the terminal velocity of a rain drop of radius $0.02 \ mm$ (in $cm \ s^{-1}$)? [Note that the coefficient of viscosity of air is $1.8 \times 10^{-5} \ N \ s \ m^{-2}$, density of water is $1000 \ kg \ m^{-3}$. Use $g = 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$ and density of air can be neglected in comparison with the density of water.]
