Which of the following laws is used in Millikan's oil drop experiment for the determination of the charge of an electron?

$A$ small spherical ball of radius $0.1 \,mm$ and density $10^{4} \,kg \,m^{-3}$ falls freely under gravity through a distance $h$ before entering a tank of water. If after entering the water the velocity of the ball does not change and it continues to fall with the same constant velocity inside the water,then the value of $h$ will be $m$. (Given $g = 10 \,m \,s^{-2}$,viscosity of water $\eta = 1.0 \times 10^{-5} \,N \,s \,m^{-2}$,density of water $\rho_w = 10^3 \,kg \,m^{-3}$)

$A$ spherical ball of density $\rho$ and radius $0.003 \ m$ is dropped into a tube containing a viscous fluid filled up to the $0 \ cm$ mark as shown in the figure. The viscosity of the fluid $\eta = 1.260 \ N \cdot s \cdot m^{-2}$ and its density $\rho_L = \rho/2 = 1260 \ kg \cdot m^{-3}$. Assume the ball reaches a terminal speed by the $10 \ cm$ mark. The time taken by the ball to traverse the distance between the $10 \ cm$ and $20 \ cm$ mark is $(g = 10 \ m \cdot s^{-2})$
