The velocity of a small spherical ball of mass $m$ and density $d_1$,when dropped in a container filled with glycerine,becomes constant after some time. The viscous force acting on the ball if the density of glycerine is $d_2$ is

  • A
    $mg(1 - d_2/d_1)$
  • B
    $mg(1 + d_2/d_1)$
  • C
    $mg(1 - d_1/d_2)$
  • D
    $mg(1 + d_1/d_2)$

In Millikan's oil drop experiment,what is the terminal speed of an uncharged drop of radius $2.0 \times 10^{-5} \; m$ and density $1.2 \times 10^{3} \; kg \; m^{-3}$?
