A sphere of mass m and radius r is projected in a gravity free space with speed v . If the coefficient of viscosity of the medium in which it moves is 1 / 6 π Pa s , the distance travelled by the body before it stops is :
Options
- Am v 2 r
- B2 m v r
- Cm v r
- Dm v 4 r
Correct answer
C. m v r
Step-by-step solution
The only force acting on the body is the viscous force Here, m vdv dx = - 6 π η rv = - rv ⇒ ∫ v 0 mdv = ∫ 0 x - rdx ⇒ x = mv r
