If the terminal speed of a sphere of gold (density $= 19.5\, kg/m^3$) is $0.2\, m/s$ in a viscous liquid (density $= 1.5\, kg/m^3$), find the terminal speed of a sphere of silver (density $= 10.5\, kg/m^3$) of the same size in the same liquid....... $m/s$
A
$0.4$
B
$0.133$
C
$0.1$
D
$0.2$
Solution
${V_T} = \frac{{2{r^2}\left( {{d_1} – {d_2}} \right)g}}{{9\eta }}$
$\frac{{{V_{{T_2}}}}}{{0.2}} = \frac{{\left( {10.5 – 1.5} \right)}}{{\left( {19.5 – 1.5} \right)}} \Rightarrow {V_{{T_2}}} = 0.2 \times \frac{9}{{18}}$
$\therefore {V_{{T_2}}} = 0.1\,m/s$
