MCQ
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
  • A
    $\frac{2}{9}{r^2}\left( {\frac{{1 - \rho }}{\eta }} \right)\,g$
  • B
    $\frac{2}{{81}}{r^2}\left( {\frac{{\rho - 1}}{\eta }} \right)\,g$
  • $\frac{2}{{81}}{r^4}{\left( {\frac{{\rho - 1}}{\eta }} \right)^2}g$
  • D
    $\frac{2}{9}{r^4}{\left( {\frac{{\rho - 1}}{\eta }} \right)^2}g$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\frac{2}{{81}}{r^4}{\left( {\frac{{\rho - 1}}{\eta }} \right)^2}g$
c
(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

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