A container filled with viscous liquid is moving vertically downwards with constant speed 3. At the instant shown, a sphere of radius r is moving vertically downwards (in liquid) has speed . The coefficient of viscosity is . There is no relative motion between the liquid and the container. Then at the shown instant, the magnitude of viscous force acting on sphere is
Relative to liquid, the velocity of sphere is 2 upwards.
Viscous force on sphere = downward
= downward
