The correct Answer is:
To determine the coefficient of dynamic viscosity of the liquid, we can use the formula for terminal velocity of a sphere falling through a fluid: \[ V_t = \frac{2}{9} \frac{R^2 (ρ_s - ρ_l) g}{μ} \] Where: - \( V_t \) = terminal velocity - \( R \) = radius of the sphere - \( ρ_s \) = density of the sphere - \( ρ_l \) = density of the liquid - \( g \) = acceleration due to gravity - \( μ \) = coefficient of dynamic viscosity ### Step 1: Convert the given values to SI units - Diameter of the sphere = \( 1.0 \, \text{mm} = 1.0 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m} \) - Radius \( R = \frac{1.0 \times 10^{-3}}{2} = 0.5 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m} \) - Terminal velocity \( V_t = 0.7 \, \text{cm/s} = 0.7 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{m/s} \) - Relative density of lead sphere = \( 11.20 \) (Density of lead \( ρ_s = 11.20 \times 1000 \, \text{kg/m}^3 = 11200 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \)) - Relative density of liquid = \( 1.26 \) (Density of liquid \( ρ_l = 1.26 \times 1000 \, \text{kg/m}^3 = 1260 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \)) - Acceleration due to gravity \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) ### Step 2: Substitute the values into the formula Rearranging the terminal velocity formula to solve for \( μ \): \[ μ = \frac{2}{9} \frac{R^2 (ρ_s - ρ_l) g}{V_t} \] Substituting the values: \[ μ = \frac{2}{9} \cdot \frac{(0.5 \times 10^{-3})^2 \cdot (11200 - 1260) \cdot 10}{0.7 \times 10^{-2}} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the values 1. Calculate \( R^2 \): \[ R^2 = (0.5 \times 10^{-3})^2 = 0.25 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{m}^2 \] 2. Calculate \( ρ_s - ρ_l \): \[ ρ_s - ρ_l = 11200 - 1260 = 9940 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \] 3. Now substitute these values into the equation: \[ μ = \frac{2}{9} \cdot \frac{0.25 \times 10^{-6} \cdot 9940 \cdot 10}{0.7 \times 10^{-2}} \] 4. Calculate the numerator: \[ 0.25 \times 10^{-6} \cdot 9940 \cdot 10 = 2485 \times 10^{-6} \] 5. Now calculate \( μ \): \[ μ = \frac{2}{9} \cdot \frac{2485 \times 10^{-6}}{0.7 \times 10^{-2}} = \frac{2}{9} \cdot \frac{2485 \times 10^{-6}}{7 \times 10^{-3}} = \frac{2 \cdot 2485 \times 10^{-6}}{63 \times 10^{-3}} = \frac{4970 \times 10^{-6}}{63 \times 10^{-3}} = \frac{4970}{63} \times 10^{-3} \] 6. Finally, calculate \( μ \): \[ μ \approx 0.079 \, \text{N s/m}^2 \] ### Final Answer The coefficient of dynamic viscosity of the liquid is approximately \( 0.079 \, \text{N s/m}^2 \).

To determine the coefficient of dynamic viscosity of the liquid, we can use the formula for terminal velocity of a sphere falling through a fluid: \[ V_t = \frac{2}{9} \frac{R^2 (ρ_s - ρ_l) g}{μ} \] Where: - \( V_t \) = terminal velocity ...
