A small spherical body of radius and density moves with the terminal velocity in a fluid of coefficient of viscosity and density What will be the net force on the body?


A flat plate of area is separated form a large plate by a layer of Glycerine thick. If the coefficient of viscosity of Glycerine is poise, the force required to keep the plate moving with a velocity of is




A water drop of radius falls in a situation where the effect of buoyant force is negligible. Co-efficient of viscosity of air is and its density is negligible as compared to that of water . Terminal velocity of the water drop is
(Take acceleration due to gravity )


A spherical ball is dropped in a long column of a highly viscous liquid. The curve in the graph shown, which represents the speed of the ball as a function of time is
