A small ball of mass M and density ρ is dropped in a viscous liquid of density ρ0. After some time, the ball falls with a constant velocity. What is the viscous force on the ball?

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

The buoyant force is given by 

B=Vρ0g

where V is the volume of the ball. The weight of the ball

W=Mg=Vρg, is acting in the opposite direction of the buoyant force . Hence, at terminal velocity

Mg-B=Fv

B+Fv=Mg

Fv=Vρg-Vρ0gFv=ρVg(1-ρ0ρ)Fv=Mg(1-ρ0ρ)
