Q.

A spherical ball of radius 1×10-4 m and density 105 kg/m3 falls freely under gravity through a distance h before entering a tank of water. If after entering in water the velocity of the ball does not change, then the value of h is approximately

(The coefficient of viscosity of water is 9.8×10-6 Ns/m2)            [2024]

1 2296 m  
2 2249 m  
3 2518 m  
4 2396 m

          Terminal velocity, vT=2g9R2[ρB-ρL]η

         vT=29×9.8×(10-4)29.8×10-6[105-103]=220 m/s

          When ball fall from height (h), v=2gh

          Now h=v22g=(220)22×9.82518 m
