$A$ sphere of radius $r$ and density $\rho$ is dropped from a height $h$. When it falls into water,it attains a terminal velocity. If the coefficient of viscosity of water is $\eta$,then $h =$

  • A
    $\frac{2}{9}{r^2}\left( {\frac{{1 - \rho }}{\eta }} \right)\,g$
  • B
    $\frac{2}{{81}}{r^2}\left( {\frac{{\rho - 1}}{\eta }} \right)\,g$
  • C
    $\frac{2}{{81}}{r^4}{\left( {\frac{{\rho - 1}}{\eta }} \right)^2}g$
  • D
    $\frac{2}{9}{r^4}{\left( {\frac{{\rho - 1}}{\eta }} \right)^2}g$
