    $M g \rho \sigma$
  • B
    $M g(\rho - \sigma)$
  • C

From amongst the following curves, which one shows the variation of the velocity $v$ with time $t$ for a small-sized spherical body falling vertically in a long column of a viscous liquid?

Two metal spheres are falling through a liquid of density $2.5 \times 10^3 \ kg/m^3$ with the same uniform speed. The density of the material of the first sphere and the second sphere is $11.5 \times 10^3 \ kg/m^3$ and $8.5 \times 10^3 \ kg/m^3$ respectively. The ratio of the radius of the first sphere to that of the second sphere is

The diameter of an air bubble,which was initially $2\,mm$,rises steadily through a solution of density $1750\,kg\,m^{-3}$ at the rate of $0.35\,cm\,s^{-1}$. The coefficient of viscosity of the solution is (in poise,nearest integer). (The density of air is negligible).
