The velocity of a small ball of mass $m$ and density $d_{1}$,when dropped in a container filled with glycerine,becomes constant after some time. If the density of glycerine is $d_{2}$,then the viscous force acting on the ball will be:

  • A
    $m g(1 - \frac{d_{2}}{d_{1}})$
  • B
    $m g(1 - \frac{d_{1}}{d_{2}})$
  • C
    $m g(\frac{d_{1}}{d_{2}} - 1)$
  • D
    $m g(\frac{d_{2}}{d_{1}} - 1)$

In an experiment to calculate the coefficient of viscosity of a liquid by measuring terminal velocity, it was observed that a ball of mass $(\frac{\pi}{2}) \ gm$ and radius $0.5 \ cm$ takes $5 \ s$ to fall steadily through a height of $50 \ cm$ inside a long column of liquid of density $1.2 \ gm/cc$. The coefficient of viscosity will be given as: (in $\text{poise}$)

$A$ large drop of oil (density $0.8 \, g/cm^3$ and viscosity $\eta_0$) floats up through a column of another liquid (density $1.2 \, g/cm^3$ and viscosity $\eta_L$). Assuming that the two liquids do not mix,the velocity with which the oil drop rises will depend on.

$A$ small rigid spherical ball of mass $M$ is dropped in a long vertical tube containing glycerine. The velocity of the ball becomes constant after some time.
