$A$ small ball of mass $M$ and density $\rho$ is dropped in a viscous liquid of density $\rho_0$. After some time,the ball falls with a constant velocity. What is the viscous force on the ball?

We have three beakers $A, B$,and $C$ containing glycerine,water,and kerosene respectively. They are stirred vigorously and placed on a table. The liquid which comes to rest at the earliest is

Consider two solid spheres $P$ and $Q$ each of density $8 \ g \ cm^{-3}$ and diameters $1 \ cm$ and $0.5 \ cm$,respectively. Sphere $P$ is dropped into a liquid of density $0.8 \ g \ cm^{-3}$ and viscosity $\eta = 3 \ \text{poiseuille}$. Sphere $Q$ is dropped into a liquid of density $1.6 \ g \ cm^{-3}$ and viscosity $\eta = 2 \ \text{poiseuille}$. The ratio of the terminal velocities of $P$ and $Q$ is:

$A$ spherical solid ball of volume $V$ is made up of a material of density $\rho$. It is falling through a liquid of density $\sigma$ $(\sigma < \rho)$. Assume that the liquid applies a viscous force on the ball that is proportional to the square of the terminal speed $v_{T}$,$F = -K v_{T}^2$ $(K > 0)$. Then,the terminal speed of the ball is ($g =$ acceleration due to gravity).
