Define terminal velocity and obtain an expression for the terminal velocity in case of a sphere falling through a viscous liquid. Also show graphically the variation of velocity with time.

The terminal velocity of a sphere moving through a viscous medium is :

A solid sphere, of radius R acquires a terminal velocity v_(1) when falling (due to gravity) through a viscous fluid having a coefficient of viscosity h. The sphere is broken into 27 identical solid spheres. If each of these spheres acquires a terminal velocity, v_(2) , when falling through the same fluid, the ratio (v_(1)//v_(2)) equal 9/x . Find the value of x.

A solid sphere, of radius R acquires a terminal velocity v_1 when falling (due to gravity) through a viscous fluid having a coefficient of viscosity eta he sphere is broken into 27 identical solid spheres. If each of these spheres acquires a terminal velocity v _2 when falling through the same fluid, the ratio (v_1//v_2 ) equals:

The terminal velocity v of a small steel ball ofradius r fal ling under gravity through a column ofa viscous liquid of coefficient of viscosity eta depends on mass of the ball m, acceleration due to gravity g, coefficient of viscosity eta and radius r. Which of the following relations is dimensionally correct?

After terminal velocity is reached the acceleration of a body falling thorugh a viscous fluid is:

Define coefficient of viscosity and give its SI unit. On what factors does the terminal velocity of a spherical ball falling through a viscous liquid depend ? Derive the formula upsilon_t = (2 r^2 g)/(9 eta) (rho - rho^1) where the symbols have their usual meanings.
