A solid rubber ball of density d and radius E falls vertically through air. Assume that the air resistance acting on the ball is F = kRV, where k is constant and V its velocity. Because of this air resistance, the ball attains a constant velocity called terminal velocity Vt after some time. Then Vt is

Detailed Solution
The ball attains the terminal velocity when the resultant force acting on the ball is zero. This happens when air resistance F acting upwards is exactly equal to the weight m g of the ball acting vertically downwards.∴ kRVt=mg=43πR3dgor Vt=4πR2d'g3k
