A ball of radius $r $ and density $\rho$ falls freely under gravity through a distance $h$ before entering water. Velocity of ball does not change even on entering water. If viscosity of water is $\eta$, the value of $h$ is given by

(c)Velocity of ball when it strikes the water surface $v = \sqrt {2gh} $ …(i)
Terminal velocity of ball inside the water

$v = \frac{2}{9}{r^2}g\frac{{\left( {\rho - 1} \right)}}{\eta }$ …(ii)
Equating (i) and (ii) we get

$\sqrt {2gh} = \frac{2}{9}\frac{{{r^2}g}}{\eta }(\rho - 1)$
==> $h = \frac{2}{{81}}{r^4}{\left( {\frac{{\rho - 1}}{\eta }} \right)^2}g$

    Suppose you have taken a dilute solution of oleic acid in such a way that its concentration becomes $0.01 \,cm ^{3}$ of oleic acid per $cm ^{3}$ of the solution. Then you make a thin film of this solution (monomolecular thickness) of area $4\, cm ^{2}$ by considering $100$ spherical drops of radius $\left(\frac{3}{40 \pi}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}} \times 10^{-3}\, cm .$ Then the thickness of oleic acid layer will be $x \times 10^{-14} \,m$. Where $x$ is ...... .

    A spray gun is shown in the figure where a piston pushes air out of a nozzle. A thin tube of uniform cross section is connected to the nozzle. The other end of the tube is in a small liquid container. As the piston pushes air through the nozzle, the liquid from the container rises into the nozzle and is sprayed out. For the spray gun shown, the radii of the piston and the nozzle are $20 \ mm$ and $1 \ mm$ respectively. The upper end of the container is open to the atmosphere. $Image$

    $1.$ If the piston is pushed at a speed of $5 \ mms ^{-1}$, the air comes out of the nozzle with a speed of

    $(A)$ $0.1 \ ms ^{-1}$ $(B)$ $1 \ ms ^{-1}$ $(C)$ $2 \ ms ^{-1}$ $(D)$ $8 \ ms ^{-1}$

    $2.$ If the density of air is $\rho_{ a }$ and that of the liquid $\rho_{\ell}$, then for a given piston speed the rate (volume per unit time) at which the liquid is sprayed will be proportional to

    $(A)$ $\sqrt{\frac{\rho_{ a }}{\rho_{\ell}}}$ $(B)$ $\sqrt{\rho_a \rho_{\ell}}$ $(C)$ $\sqrt{\frac{\rho_{\ell}}{\rho_{ a }}}$ $(D)$ $\rho_{\ell}$
