Two small balls of the same size and of ...

Two small balls of the same size and of mass `m_(1)` and `m_(2)(m_(1) gt m_(2))` are tied by a thin light thread and dropped from a large height. Determine the tension `T` of the thread during the flight after the motion of the balls has become steady. (Air resistance force is same on two balls)
[Take `m_(1)=2kg`, `m_(2)=1kg`, `g=10m//s^(2)`]

Two small balls of the same size and of mass m_(1) and m_(2) (m_(1) gt m_(2)) are tied by a thin weightless thread and dropped from a ballon. Determine the tension T of the thread during the flight after the motion of the balls has become steady-state.

Two masses m_(1) and m_(2) (m_(1) gt m_(2)) are falling from the same height when same air resistance acts on them

Two balls of same size but different masses m_(1) and m_(2)(m_(2)gtm_(1)) are attached to the two ends of a thin light thread and dropped from a certain height. It is known that the ciscous drag of air depends on the size and velocities of the balls. other than the gravitational pull from the earth and the viscous drag, the buoyant force from air also act on the balls, the buoyant force on a ball equals to the wweight of air displaced by the ball. After sufficiently long time from the instant the balls were dropped both of them acquire uniform velocity known as terminal velocity. When the balls have acquired terminal velocity, the tension in the thread is
