Consider two solid spheres P and Q each of density 8 gm cm -3 and diameters 1cm and 0.5cm, respectively. Sphere P is dropped into a liquid of density 0.8 gm cm -3 and viscosity 
= 3 poiseulles. Sphere Q is dropped into a liquid of density 1.6 gm cm -3 and viscosity 
= 2 poiseulles. The ratio of the terminal velocities of P and Q is
