Q.

A metallic sphere having density ρs falls in glycerin of density ρg, which is kept in a cylindrical container of radius R and a very large height h. Assume that the acceleration due to gravity is g, that the radius of the sphere is a and that the viscosity of glycerin is very large (η).

(P) The terminal speed of the sphere is

vT=29ρsρga2gη.

(Q) The terminal speed of the sphere

vT<29ρsρga2gη.

(R) The viscous force acting on the sphere is 6π ηаv. 

(S) The viscous force acting on the sphere is greater than 6πηav. Consider the statements ABOVE and select the correct option BELOW
