What is the velocity $v$  of a metallic ball of radius $r$  falling in a tank of liquid at the instant when its acceleration is one-half that of a freely falling body ? (The densities of metal and of liquid are $\rho$ and $\sigma$ respectively, and the viscosity of the liquid is $\eta$).

  • A

    $\frac{{{r^2}g}}{{9\eta }}(\rho - 2\sigma )$

  • B

    $\frac{{{r^2}g}}{{9\eta }}(2\rho - \sigma )$

  • C

    $\frac{{{r^2}g}}{{9\eta }}(\rho - \sigma )$

  • D

    $\frac{{2{r^2}g}}{{9\eta }}(\rho - \sigma )$
