In the measurement of the viscosity of liquids using the terminal velocity experiment, spherical balls of the same radius but having different densities are used. The variation of the terminal velocity \((v)\) with the ratio of the density of the spherical ball \((\sigma)\) to the density of the liquid \((\rho),\) is best represented by:
1. 2.
3. 4.

The velocity of a small ball of mass m and density ρ when dropped in a container filled with glycerin of density σ becomes constant after sometime. The viscous force acting on the ball in the final stage is:-

1. mgσρ

2. mg1+σρ

3. mg1-σρ

Two small spherical metal balls, having equal masses, are made from materials of densities \(\rho_1\) and \(\rho_2\) such that \(\rho_1=8\rho_2\) and having 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:

1. \(\dfrac{79}{72}\) 2. \(\dfrac{19}{36}\)
3. \(\dfrac{39}{72}\) 4. \(\dfrac{79}{36}\)
