The velocity of a small ball of mass $m$ and density $\rho$ when dropped in a container filled with glycerine of density $\sigma$ becomes constant after some time. The viscous force acting on the ball in the final stage is

  • A
    $mg\left( \frac{\sigma}{\rho} \right)$
  • B
    $mg\left( 1 + \frac{\sigma}{\rho} \right)$
  • C
    $mg\left( 1 - \frac{\sigma}{\rho} \right)$
  • D
    $mg$

The terminal velocity of a small-sized spherical body of radius $r$ falling vertically in a viscous liquid is given by the proportionality:

In an experiment to calculate the coefficient of viscosity of a liquid by measuring terminal velocity, it was observed that a ball of mass $(\frac{\pi}{2}) \ gm$ and radius $0.5 \ cm$ takes $5 \ s$ to fall steadily through a height of $50 \ cm$ inside a long column of liquid of density $1.2 \ gm/cc$. The coefficient of viscosity will be given as: (in $\text{poise}$)
