    $1$
  • B
    $r_1: r_2$
  • C

An air bubble of radius $1 \ cm$ rises from the bottom portion through a liquid of density $1.5 \ g/cc$ at a constant speed of $0.25 \ cm \ s^{-1}$. If the density of air is neglected, the coefficient of viscosity of the liquid is approximately, (in $Pa \ s$):

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:

Two solid spheres of radii $2 \ mm$ and $4 \ mm$ are tied to the two ends of a light string and released in a liquid of specific gravity $1.3$ and coefficient of viscosity $1 \ Pa \cdot s$. The string is just taut when the two spheres are completely submerged in the liquid. If the density of the materials of the two spheres is $2800 \ kg \cdot m^{-3}$,then the terminal velocity of the system of the spheres is (take $g = 10 \ m \cdot s^{-2}$):
