The velocity of a small ball of mass ' ' and density , when dropped in a container filled with glycerine, becomes constant after some time. If the density of glycerine is , then the viscous force acting on the ball, will be :
- (A)
- (B)✓ Correct
- (C)
- (D)
Answer: (B)
Solution
When the ball reaches terminal velocity, the net force is zero. The forces acting are:
At terminal velocity:
Therefore, the answer is (B).
- Weight: (downward)
- Buoyant force: (upward)
- Viscous force: (upward)
At terminal velocity:
Therefore, the answer is (B).
