' n ' small drops of same size fall through air with constant velocity 5 ~cm / s . They coalesce to form a big drop. The terminal velocity of the big drop is
Options
- A7 n ^ 2 / 3 ~cm / s
- B5 n ^ 2 / 3 ~cm / s
- C3 n ^ 2 / 3 ~cm / s
- D9 n ^ 2 / 3 ~cm / s
Correct answer
B. 5 n ^ 2 / 3 ~cm / s
Step-by-step solution
