What is the velocity $v$  of a metallic ball of radius $r$  falling in a tank of liquid at the instant when its acceleration is one-half that of a freely falling body ? (The densities of metal and of liquid are $\rho$ and $\sigma$ respectively, and the viscosity of the liquid is $\eta$).

A spherical ball of density $\rho$ and radius $0.003$ $m$ is dropped into a tube containing a viscous fluid filled up to the $0$ $ cm$ mark as shown in the figure. Viscosity of the fluid $=$ $1.260$ $N.m^{-2}$ and its density $\rho_L=\rho/2$ $=$ $1260$ $kg.m^{-3}$. Assume the ball reaches a terminal speed by the $10$ $cm$ mark. The time taken by the ball to traverse the distance between the $10$ $cm$ and $20$ $cm$ mark is

( $g$ $ =$ acceleration due to gravity $= 10$ $ ms^{^{-2}} )$
