Highly selective Backlog Qs for JEE MainPhysicsMechanical Properties of Fluids
A small sphere of radius r falls from rest in a viscous liquid. As a result, heat is produced due to viscous force. The rate of production of heat when the sphere attains terminal velocity, is proportional to
Options
- Ar 5
- Br 2
- Cr 3
- Dr 4
Correct answer
A. r 5
Step-by-step solution
Rate of heat produced = power of viscous force terminal velocity V T = 2 r 2 ( ρ − σ ) g 9 η ⇒ V T ∝ r 2 d Q d t = 6 πη r V T × V T ⇒ d Q d t ∝ r 5
