Eight equal drops of water are falling through air with a steady velocity of 10 ~cm ~s ⁻¹ . If the drops combine to form a single drop big in size, then the terminal velocity of this big drop is
Options
- A40 cms ⁻¹
- B10 cms ⁻¹
- C30 cms ⁻¹
- D80 cms ⁻¹
Correct answer
A. 40 cms ⁻¹
Step-by-step solution
Here, aligned v₁ v₂ &= r₁² 8^ 2 / 3 r² 10 v₂ &= 1 4 v₂ &=40 ~cm / s aligned
