Stoke's law relates the backward dragging force F acting on a small sphere of radius moving through a viscous medium of viscosity with velocity .
A spherical ball is dropped in a long column of a highly viscous liquid. The curve in the graph shown, which represents the speed of the ball as a function of time is [2022]

Initially, when the ball starts falling down, due to the force of gravity, the speed of ball increases and the viscous drag force increases also (it depends on speed ). As the viscous force balances the force of gravity, the net acceleration of the ball is zero, and it starts moving with constant velocity called terminal velocity.
So, option (b) is correct.
The velocity of a small ball of mass and density , when dropped in a container filled with glycerine becomes constant after some time. If the density of glycerine is , then the viscous force acting on the ball will be [2021]

Given, Mass of ball = M
Density of ball =
Density of given wire =
Viscous force = weight - buoyant force

Also mass,
So, from equation (i),
Two small spherical metal balls, having equal masses, are made from materials of densities and and have radii of 1 mm and 2 mm, respectively. They are made to fall vertically (from rest) in a viscous medium whose coefficient of viscosity equals and whose density is . The ratio of their terminal velocities would be [2019]

A small sphere of radius falls from rest in a viscous liquid. As a result, heat is produced due to viscous force. The rate of production of heat when the sphere attains its terminal velocity is proportional to [2018]
