Two solid spheres $S_{1}$ and $S_{2}$ of same uniform density fall from rest under gravity in a viscous medium and after some time, reach terminal velocities $v_{1}$ and $v_{2}$ respectively. If the ratio of masses $\frac{m_{1}}{m_{2}}=8$, then $\frac{v_{1}}{v_{2}}$ will be equal to

In Millikan's oil drop experiment, a charged drop falls with terminal velocity $V$. If an electric field $E$ is applied in a vertically upward direction, then it starts moving in an upward direction with terminal velocity $2V$. If the magnitude of the electric field is decreased to $E/2$, then the terminal velocity will become

Consider two solid spheres $P$ and $Q$ each of density $8 \ g \ cm^{-3}$ and diameters $1 \ cm$ and $0.5 \ cm$,respectively. Sphere $P$ is dropped into a liquid of density $0.8 \ g \ cm^{-3}$ and viscosity $\eta = 3 \ \text{poiseuille}$. Sphere $Q$ is dropped into a liquid of density $1.6 \ g \ cm^{-3}$ and viscosity $\eta = 2 \ \text{poiseuille}$. The ratio of the terminal velocities of $P$ and $Q$ is:
