A sphere is dropped gently into a medium of infinite extent. As the sphere falls, the force acting downwards on it.

A

remain constant throughout

B

increases for sometimes and then becomes constant

C

decreases for sometimes and then becomes zero

D

increases for sometime and then decreases.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
There will not be any viscous force so velocity will keep on increasing.
