  4. D7936\frac{79}{36}

Correct answer

D. 7936\frac{79}{36}

Step-by-step solution

The terminal velocity achieved by ball in a viscous fluid is vt=2(ρ−σ)r2g9ηv_{\mathrm{t}}=\frac{2(\rho-\sigma) \mathrm{r}^2 \mathrm{ g}}{9 \eta} where, ρ=\rho= density of metal of ball, σ=\sigma= density of viscous medium, r=\mathrm{r}= radius of ball and η=\eta= coefficient of viscosity of medium Terminal velocity of first ball, vt1=2(ρ1−σ)r12g9η=2(8ρ2−σ)r12g9η\begin{aligned}\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{t}_1}& =\frac{2\left(\rho_1-\sigma\right) \mathrm{r}_1^2 \mathrm{ g}}{9 \eta}\\ & =\frac{2\left(8 \rho_2-\sigma\right) \mathrm{r}_1^2 \mathrm{ g}}{9 \eta} \end{aligned}...(i)[∵ρ1=8ρ2]i) \left[\because \rho_1=8 \rho_2\right] Similarly, for second ball vt2=2(ρ2−σ)r22g9η\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{t}_2}=\frac{2\left(\rho_2-\sigma\right) \mathrm{r}_2^2 \mathrm{ g}}{9 \eta} From Eq. (i) and (ii), we get vt1vt2=2(8ρ2−σ)r12g2(ρ2−σ)r22g×9η9η=(8ρ2−0.1ρ2ρ2−0.1ρ2)(r1r2)2\begin{aligned}\frac{\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{t}_1}}{\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{t}_2}}& =\frac{2\left(8 \rho_2-\sigma\right) \mathrm{r}_1^2 \mathrm{ g}}{2\left(\rho_2-\sigma\right) \mathrm{r}_2^2 \mathrm{ g}} \times \frac{9 \eta}{9 \eta}\\ & = \left(\frac{8 \rho_2-0.1 \rho_2}{\rho_2-0.1 \rho_2}\right)\left(\frac{r_1}{r_2}\right)^ 2 \end{aligned}..(iii)[∵σ=0.1ρ2]iii) \left[\because \sigma=0.1 \rho_2\right] Here, r1=1mmandr2=2mmSubstitutingthesevalues\mathrm{r}_{1}=1 \mathrm{ mm}and \mathrm{r}_{2}=2 \mathrm{ mm}Substituting these values 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}
