A small metallic sphere of diameter 2 mm and density 10.5 g/cm3 is dropped in glycerine having viscosity 10 Poise and density 1.5 g/cm3 respectively. The terminal velocity attained by the sphere is cm/s. ( = 227 and g = 10 m/s2)
- 1.0
- 1.5
- 3.0
- 2.0
Answer
(4) 2.0
Solution
vt = 2 r2 ( - ) g9
r = 1 mm = 10-3 m, - = 9 g/cm3 = 9000 kg/m3, = 10 P = 1 Pa s
vt = 2 10-6 9000 109 1
= 0.02 m/s = 2.0 cm/s
Answer: (4)
