The velocity of a small ball of mass M and density d, when dropped in a container filled with glycerin becomes constant after some time. If the density of glycerin is , then the viscous force acting on the ball will be :
- A2Mg
- B
- CMg
- DMg
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
Let Fv be the viscous force and FB be the Bouyant
force acting on the ball.

Then, when body moves with constant velocity
Mg = FB + Fv [a = 0]
Fv = Mg – FB
= (Mg = dVg) V = volume of ball.
=
Fv =
