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 :

Two drops of same radius are falling through air with steady velocity of $v $ $cm/s$. If the two drops coalesce, what would be the terminal velocity?

A spherical ball of radius $1 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~m}$ and density $10^5$ $\mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^3$ falls freely under gravity through a distance $h$ before entering a tank of water, If after entering in water the velocity of the ball does not change, then the value of $h$ is approximately:

Which falls faster, big rain drops or small rain drops ?

Two small spherical metal balls, having equal masses, are made from materials of densities $\rho_{1}$ and $\rho_{2}\left(\rho_{1}=8 \rho_{2}\right)$ and have radii of $1\; \mathrm{mm}$ and $2\; \mathrm{mm}$, respectively. They are made to fall vertically (from rest) in a viscous medum whose coefficient of viscosity equals $\eta$ and whose denstry is $0.1 \mathrm{\rho}_{2} .$ The ratio of their terminal velocitites would be
