An object falling through a fluind is observed to have acceleration given by ` a= g- bv` where ` g= gravitational acceleration and (b) is constant. After a long time of rlease. It is observed to fall with constant speed. What must be the value of constant speed ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given, ` a=- g- b v`
A body will fall with a constant speed ` v_(c)`. When ` a=0` Therefore, ` 0= g-b v_(c) or v_(c) =g//b`.
