Question

Consider two solid spheres P and Q each of density 8 gm c m - 3 and diameters 1 cm and 0.5 cm, respectively. Sphere P is dropped into a liquid of density 0.8 gm c m - 3 and viscosity &#951; = 3 poiseulles. Sphere Q is dropped into a liquid of density 1.6 gm c m - 3&#160; and viscosity &#951; = 2 poiseulles. the ratio of the terminal velocities of P and Q is.
