A small ball of mass 'M', radius 'R' and density moves with terminal velocity through a container filled with glycerin of density . The viscous force acting on the ball is

(g = gravitational acceleration)

Answer: (C)

Solution

At terminal velocity the net force on the ball is zero, so the viscous force upward equals the weight minus the buoyant force: . The volume of the ball is , so the upthrust is \dfrac${Mσ
