Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: $A$ spherical body of radius $(5 \pm 0.1) \ mm$ having a particular density is falling through a liquid of constant density. The percentage error in the calculation of its terminal velocity is $4\,\%$.
Reason $R$: The terminal velocity of the spherical body falling through the liquid is inversely proportional to its radius.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  • A
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true but $R$ is $NOT$ the correct explanation of $A$.
  • B
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$.
  • C
    $A$ is false but $R$ is true.
  • D
    $A$ is true but $R$ is false.

The diameter of an air bubble,which was initially $2\,mm$,rises steadily through a solution of density $1750\,kg\,m^{-3}$ at the rate of $0.35\,cm\,s^{-1}$. The coefficient of viscosity of the solution is (in poise,nearest integer). (The density of air is negligible).

$A$ spherical liquid drop of radius $r$ acquires the terminal velocity $v_1$ when falling through a gas of viscosity $\eta$. Now the drop is broken into $64$ identical droplets and each droplet acquires terminal velocity $v_2$ falling through the same gas. The ratio of terminal velocities $v_1/v_2$ is . . . . . . .

Two equal drops are falling through air with a steady velocity of $5\, cm/s$. If two drops coalesce to form one drop,then the new terminal velocity will be:
