$A$ spherical solid ball of volume $V$ is made up of a material of density $\rho$. It is falling through a liquid of density $\sigma$ $(\sigma < \rho)$. Assume that the liquid applies a viscous force on the ball that is proportional to the square of the terminal speed $v_{T}$,$F = -K v_{T}^2$ $(K > 0)$. Then,the terminal speed of the ball is ($g =$ acceleration due to gravity).

Two spheres of equal masses but radii $r_1$ and $r_2$ are allowed to fall in a liquid of infinite column. The ratio of their terminal velocities is

What is the velocity $v$ of a metallic ball of radius $r$ falling in a tank of liquid at the instant when its acceleration is one-half that of a freely falling body? (The densities of metal and of liquid are $\rho$ and $\sigma$ respectively,and the viscosity of the liquid is $\eta$).
