MCQ
For a ball falling in a liquid with constant velocity, ratio of resistance force due to the liquid to that due to gravity is:
  • $1$
  • B
    $\frac29\frac{\text{a}^2\rho\text{g}}{\eta^2}$
  • C
    $\frac29\frac{\text{a}^2(\rho-\sigma)\text{g}}{\eta}$
  • D
    None of these.

Answer

Correct option: A.
$1$
When a body while falling in a viscous liquid moves with a constant velocity $($i.e., attains terminal velocity$),$ the resultant force on the body is zero.
So the viscous force acting upwards is equal to the gravity pull acting downwards.
