(N/A) Dust particles can be modeled as small spheres moving through the air. According to $Stoke's$ $Law$, the viscous drag force acting on a spherical particle is $F = 6\pi\eta rv$. As the particle falls, it reaches a $terminal$ $velocity$ $(v_t)$, which is given by $v_t = \frac{2r^2(\rho - \sigma)g}{9\eta}$. Since the radius $(r)$ of dust particles is very small, their terminal velocity is extremely low. However, because this velocity is non-zero and directed downwards, the particles continue to move towards the floor. Over a period of time, even with a very small terminal velocity, these particles eventually settle down on the floor.

Two small spherical metal balls,having equal masses,are made from materials of densities $\rho_{1}$ and $\rho_{2}$ (where $\rho_{1} = 8 \rho_{2}$) and have radii of $1 \; mm$ and $2 \; mm$,respectively. They are made to fall vertically (from rest) in a viscous medium whose coefficient of viscosity equals $\eta$ and whose density is $0.1 \rho_{2}$. The ratio of their terminal velocities would be:

$A$ small ball of mass $M$,radius $R$ and density $\rho$ moves with terminal velocity through a container filled with glycerine of density $\sigma$. The viscous force acting on the ball is ($g=$ gravitational acceleration).

An air bubble of diameter $6\,mm$ rises steadily through a solution of density $1750\,kg/m^3$ at the rate of $0.35\,cm/s$. The coefficient of viscosity of the solution (neglect density of air) is $..........\,Pa\cdot s$ (given,$g = 10\,m/s^2$).

$A$ spherical body of mass $m$ and radius $r$ is allowed to fall in a medium of viscosity $\eta$. The time in which the velocity of the body increases from zero to $0.63$ times the terminal velocity $(v_t)$ is called the time constant $(\tau)$. Dimensionally,$\tau$ can be represented by:

In an experiment to verify Stokes' law,a small spherical ball of radius $r$ and density $\rho$ falls under gravity through a distance $h$ in air before entering a tank of water. If the terminal velocity of the ball inside water is the same as its velocity just before entering the water surface,then the value of $h$ is proportional to: (ignore viscosity of air)
