The velocity of a small ball of mass $M$  and density $d_1,$ when dropped in a container filled with glycerine becomes constant after some time. If the density of glycerine is $d_2,$ the viscous force acting on the ball will be

A

$Mg\,\left( {1 - \frac{{{d_1}}}{{{d_2}}}} \right)$

B

$Mg\,\left( {1 - \frac{{{d_2}}}{{{d_1}}}} \right)$

C

$Mg\,\,d_1$

D

$Mg\,\,d_2$

Solution

At equilibrium, the viscous force acting upward $=$ Effective force downward

Effective force $=\mathrm{Vd}_{1} \mathrm{g}-\mathrm{Vd}_{2} \mathrm{g}=\mathrm{V}\left(\mathrm{d}_{1}-\mathrm{d}_{2}\right) \mathrm{g}$

$=\frac{M}{d_{1}}\left(d_{1}-d_{2}\right) g=M g\left[1-\frac{d_{2}}{d_{1}}\right]\left[\because V=\frac{M}{d_{1}}\right]$
