Two uniform solid balls of same density and of radii $r$ and $2r$ are dropped in air and fall vertically downwards. The terminal velocity of the ball with radius $r$ is $1\,cm\,s^{-1}$ , then find the terminal velocity of the ball of radius $2r$ (neglect bouyant force on the balls.) ........... $cm\,s^{-1}$

A

$0.5$

B

$4$

C

$1$

D

$2$

Solution

At equilibrium

$\mathrm{mg}=6 \pi \eta \mathrm{rv} \quad$ or $\quad \rho \frac{4 \pi}{3} \mathrm{r}^{3} \mathrm{g}=4 \pi \eta \mathrm{rV}$

$\therefore \quad \frac{v_{\mathrm{r}}}{\mathrm{v}_{2 \mathrm{r}}}=\frac{(\mathrm{r})^{2}}{(2 \mathrm{r})^{2}} \quad$ or $\quad \mathrm{v}_{2 \mathrm{x}}=\left(\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{r}}\right) \times 4=4 \mathrm{cm} / \mathrm{s}$
