AI Generated Solution

To find the terminal speed of a sphere of aluminum in the same viscous liquid, we can use the relationship between the terminal speeds of two spheres of different materials but the same size. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values:** - Density of gold, \( \rho_1 = 22.5 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \) - Terminal speed of gold sphere, \( V_1 = 40 \, \text{cm/s} = 0.4 \, \text{m/s} \) - Density of aluminum, \( \rho_2 = 15.5 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \) ...
