A spherical body of mass $m$ and radius $r$ is allowed to fall in a medium of viscosity $\eta $. The time in which the velocity of the body increases from zero to $0.63$ times the terminal velocity $(v)$ is called time constant $(\tau )$. Dimensionally $\tau $ can be represented by
  • A$\frac{{m{r^2}}}{{6\pi \eta }}$
  • B$\sqrt {\left( {\frac{{6\pi mr\eta }}{{{g^2}}}} \right)} $
  • C$\frac{m}{{6\pi \eta rv}}$
  • D
    None of the above
