Two spherical rain drops reach the surface of the earth with terminal velocities having ratio 16: 9 . The ratio of their surface area is
Options
- A4: 3
- B64: 27
- C16: 9
- D9: 16
Correct answer
C. 16: 9
Step-by-step solution
The terminal velocity of rain drop is array l v_ T = 2( - ) r² g 9 v_ T r² (i) array Also, surface area of rain drop, A=4 r² A r ² ...(ii) From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get array l A₁ A₂ = V_ T₁ V_ T₂ = 16 9 or 16: 9 array
