The terminal velocity of a metallic ball of radius 6 mm in a viscous fluid is 20 cm/s. The terminal velocity of another ball of same material and having radius 3 mm in the same fluid will be cm/s.
Answer
5
Solution
Terminal velocity (Stokes' law): vt = 2r2( - )g9
Same material and same fluid vt r2
v2v1 = ( 36 )2 = 14
v2 = 204 = 5 cm/s
