A lead shot of $1\, mm$ diameter falls through a long column of glycerine. The variation of its velocity $v$ with distance covered is represented by

A
B
C
D

Solution

When a body falls through a viscous liquid, its velocity increases due to gravity but after some time its velocity becomes uniform because of viscous force becoming equal to the gravitational force. Viscous force itself is a variable force which increases as velocity increases, so curve $(a)$ represents the correct alternative.
