The velocity of a small ball of mass M and density ρ, when dropped in a container filled with glycerine becomes constant after some time. If the density of glycerine is ρ2, then the viscous force acting on the ball will be:
  1. 3Mg2
  2. Mg
  3. 12Mg
  4. 2Mg

Solution

When velocity becomes constant then,

Fv+Fb=Mg

Fv=Mg-Fb

=Vρbg-Vρgg

=Vgρ-ρ2

=Vgρ2

=(Vρ)g2=Mg2
