Spherical balls of radius 'r' are falling in a viscous fluid of viscosity ' η η ' with a velocity 'v'. The retarding viscous force acting on the spherical ball is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Retarding force acting on a ball falling into a viscous fluid 
where 
radius of
ball, 
velocity of ball and 
coefficient of viscosity 
and 
Or in words, retarding force is directly proportional to both R and v.
