Two small spherical metal balls, having equal masses, are made from materials of densities and \left(\rho_1=8 \rho_2\right)1 \mathrm{~mm}2 \mathrm{~mm}\eta0.1 \rho_2. The ratio of their terminal velocities would be
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
The terminal velocity achieved by ball in a viscous fluid is
where, density of metal of ball,
density of viscous medium,
radius of ball and
coefficient of viscosity of medium
Terminal velocity of first ball,
...(
Similarly, for second ball
From Eq. (i) and (ii), we get
..(
Here, in Eq. (iii), we get
\Rightarrow \quad \frac{\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{t}_1}}{\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{t}_2}}=\left(\frac{7.9 \rho_2}{0.9 \rho_2}\right)\left(\frac{1}{2}\r \right)^2=$\frac{79}{36}
