$A$ metal ball of radius $9 \times 10^{-4} \ m$ and density $10^4 \ kg/m^3$ falls freely under gravity through a distance $h$ and enters a tank of water. Considering that the metal ball has constant velocity in water,the value of $h$ is [coefficient of viscosity of water $= 8.1 \times 10^{-4} \ Pa \cdot s, g = 10 \ m/s^2$,density of water $= 10^3 \ kg/m^3$].
