$A$ 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).

$A$ spherical ball of radius $1 \text{ mm}$ and density $10.5 \text{ g/cc}$ is dropped in glycerine of coefficient of viscosity $9.8 \text{ poise}$ and density $1.5 \text{ g/cc}$. Viscous force on the ball when it attains constant velocity is $3696 \times 10^{-x} \text{ N}$. The value of $x$ is (Given, $g = 9.8 \text{ m/s}^2$ and $\pi = 22/7$)
