The terminal velocity of a copper ball of radius $5\,mm$ falling through a tank of oil at room temperature is $10\,cm\,s^{-1}$. If the viscosity of oil at room temperature is $0.9\,kg\,m^{-1}s^{-1}$,the viscous drag force is:

  • A
    $8.48 \times 10^{-3}\,N$
  • B
    $8.48 \times 10^{-5}\,N$
  • C
    $4.23 \times 10^{-3}\,N$
  • D
    $4.23 \times 10^{-6}\,N$

$A$ tiny spherical oil drop carrying a net charge $q$ is balanced in still air, with a vertical uniform electric field of strength $\frac{81}{7} \pi \times 10^5 \,V / m$. When the field is switched $OFF$, the drop is observed to fall with terminal velocity $2 \times 10^{-3} \,m / s$. Here $g=9.8 \,m / s^2$, viscosity of air is $\eta = 1.8 \times 10^{-5} \,N s / m^2$ and density of oil is $\rho = 900 \,kg / m^3$. The magnitude of $q$ is

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:
