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 sphere of radius $R$ acquires a terminal velocity $\nu_1$ when falling (due to gravity) through a viscous fluid having a coefficient of viscosity $\eta$. The sphere is broken into $27$ identical solid spheres. If each of these spheres acquires a terminal velocity $\nu_2$ when falling through the same fluid,the ratio $(\nu_1/\nu_2)$ equals:
