An object falling through a fluid is observed to have acceleration given by $a = g -bv$ where $g =$ gravitational acceleration and $b$ is constant. After a long time of release, it is observed to fall with constant speed. The value of constant speed is

  • A

    $\frac{g}{b}$

  • B

    $\frac{b}{g}$

  • C

    $bg$

  • D

    $b$

The diameter of an air bubble which was initially $2\,mm$, rises steadily through a solution of density $1750\,kg\,m\,m ^{-3}$ at the rate of $0.35\,cms ^{-1}$. The coefficient of viscosity of the solution is poise (in nearest integer). (the density of air is negligible).

Why bubbles rise in soda water bottle ?

In an experiment to verify Stokes law, a small spherical ball of radius $r$ and density $\rho$ falls under gravity through a distance $h$ in air before entering a tank of water. If the terminal velocity of the ball inside water is same as its velocity just before entering the water surface, then the value of $h$ is proportional to :
