A sperical body of mass `m` and radius `r` is allowed to fall in a medium of viscosity `eta`. The time in which the velocity of the body increases from zero to `0.63 ` times the terminal velocity `(v)` is called constant `(tau)`. Dimensionally , `tau` can be represented by

A

`(mr)/(6 pi eta)`

B

`sqrt(((6 pi m r eta)/(g^(2))))`

C

`(m)/(6 pi eta r v)`

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d

Time constant `tau = [T] ` and viscosity `eta = [ML^(-1)T^(-1)]`
for option (a) , (b) and (c) dimension are not mathing with time constant.
