Detailed Solution

Given,

radius of copper ball, r=3×10-3m, 

viscosity of oil, η=1kg/ms, 

density of oil, ρ=1.5×103kg/m3 

density of copper, σ=9×103kg/m3

we know that the terminal velocity,

vT=29r2(σρ)gn

vT=29×(3×10-3)2(9×103-1.5×103)×101

vT=29×9×10-6×7.5×103×10=15×10-2m/s 

Hence the correct answer is 15×10-2m/s.
