Two rain drops reach the earth with different terminal velocities having ratio 9: 4 . Then the ratio of their volumes is
Options
- A3: 2
- B4:9
- C9:4
- D27:8
Correct answer
D. 27:8
Step-by-step solution
Terminal velocity, v_T r^2 aligned & v_ T₁ v_ T₂ = r₁^2 r₂^2 & 9 4 = r₁ r₂ & r₁ r₂ = 3 2 & v= 4 3 r^3 & v₁ v₂ = r₁^3 r₂^3 = 27 8 & aligned
