Two spheres P and Q of equal radii have densities ρ1 and ρ2, respectively. The spheres are connected by a massless string and placed in liquids L1 and L2 of densities σ1 and σ2 viscosities η1 and η2, respectively. They float in equilibrium with the sphere P in L1 and sphere Q in L2 and the string is being taut (see figure). If sphere P alone in L2 has terminal velocity VP and Q alone in L1 has terminal velocity VQ, then
