Eight identical drops of same radii are falling through air with steady velocity $6 \ cm/s$. If these drops coalesce,then the terminal velocity would be .......... $cm/s$.

What will be the approximate terminal velocity of a rain drop of diameter $1.8 \times 10^{-3} \ m$, when density of rain water $\approx 10^{3} \ kg \ m^{-3}$ and the coefficient of viscosity of air $\approx 1.8 \times 10^{-5} \ N \ s \ m^{-2}$ (in $m \ s^{-1}$)? (Neglect buoyancy of air)

$A$ solid metal sphere released in a vertical liquid column has attained terminal velocity in the downward direction. The magnitudes of viscous force, buoyant force, and gravitational force acting on it are $F_{v}$, $F_{B}$, and $F_{W}$ respectively. Then, the correct relation between them is:

$A$ 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 $(g = 10 \ m \cdot s^{-2})$
