    $v/2$
  • B
    $v/4$
  • C
    $4v$
  • D

$A$ metal sphere of radius $R$,density $\rho_1$ moves with terminal velocity $V_1$ through a liquid of density $\sigma$. Another sphere of same radius but density $\rho_2$ moves through the same liquid. Its terminal velocity is $V_2$. The ratio $V_1: V_2$ is

Two small spherical metal balls,having equal masses,are made from materials of densities $\rho_{1}$ and $\rho_{2}$ (where $\rho_{1} = 8 \rho_{2}$) and have radii of $1 \; mm$ and $2 \; mm$,respectively. They are made to fall vertically (from rest) in a viscous medium whose coefficient of viscosity equals $\eta$ and whose density is $0.1 \rho_{2}$. The ratio of their terminal velocities would be:
