An air bubble of $1\, cm$ radius is rising at a steady rate of $2.00\, mm/sec$ through a liquid of density $1.5\, g/cm^3$. Neglect the density of air. If $g = 1000\, cm/sec^2$,then the coefficient of viscosity of the liquid is:

  • A
    $0.166 \times 10^3\, \text{poise}$
  • B
    $166 \times 10^3\, \text{poise}$
  • C
    $1.66 \times 10^3\, \text{poise}$
  • D
    $16.6 \times 10^3\, \text{poise}$

The terminal velocity of a copper ball of radius $2.0 \; mm$ falling through a tank of oil at $20 \; ^{\circ}C$ is $6.5 \; cm \; s^{-1}$. Compute the viscosity of the oil at $20 \; ^{\circ}C$. Density of oil is $1.5 \times 10^{3} \; kg \; m^{-3}$,density of copper is $8.9 \times 10^{3} \; kg \; m^{-3}$.

Two solid spheres of radii $2 \ mm$ and $4 \ mm$ are tied to the two ends of a light string and released in a liquid of specific gravity $1.3$ and coefficient of viscosity $1 \ Pa \cdot s$. The string is just taut when the two spheres are completely submerged in the liquid. If the density of the materials of the two spheres is $2800 \ kg \cdot m^{-3}$,then the terminal velocity of the system of the spheres is (take $g = 10 \ m \cdot s^{-2}$):
