A spherical body, of massmand radiusr, is allowed to fall in a medium of viscosityη. The time in which the velocity of the body increases from0to0.63times the terminal velocity(v)is called time constantτ. Dimensionallyτcan be represented as

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

Time constant is the time of free fall of a body under gravity in the viscous medium, during which the velocity of the body increases to63%of the terminal velocity. Dimensionally, none of the alternatives have dimensions of time.
