A small ball of mass and density is dropped in a viscous liquid of density . After some time, the ball falls with a constant velocity. What is the viscous force on the ball?
- A
- B
- Correct answerC
- D
Solution
The buoyant force is given by
where is the volume of the ball. The weight of the ball
, is acting in the opposite direction of the buoyant force . Hence, at terminal velocity
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
