A spherical body of mass $m$ and radius $r$ is allowed to fall in a medium of viscosity $\eta $. The time in which the velocity of the body increases from zero to $0.63\, times$ the terminal velocity $(v)$ is called time constant $\left( \tau  \right)$. Dimensionally $\tau $ can be represented by

  • A

    $\frac{{m{r^2}}}{{6\pi \eta }}$

  • B

    $\sqrt {\left( {\frac{{6\pi mr\eta }}{{{g^2}}}} \right)} $

  • C

    $\frac{m}{{6\pi \eta rv}}$

  • D

    None of the above
