There is a long vertical tube of radius r containing air at atmospheric pressure. A steel ball is held at the mouth of the tube and dropped. The ball has radius r and it just fits inside the tube. The tube wall is perfectly smooth and no air can leak from the tube as the ball falls inside it. The ball falls through half the length of the tube before coming to rest. Assume that wall of the tube is perfectly conducting and temperature of the air inside the tube remains constant. Density of steel is d and atmospheric pressure is P_(0) and take L gt gt r . Take air to be an ideal gas. (a) Find the radius (r) of the tube. (b) At what depth from the top of the tube the ball will be in equilibrium?

A solid rubber ball orf density d and radius R falls vertically through air. Assume that the air resistance acting on the ball is F=KRV where K is constant and V is its velocity. Because of this air resistance the ball attains a constant velocity called terminal velocity v_(T) after some time. Then V_(T)
