A ball of radius r and density Ρ falls freely under gravity through a distance h before entering water. Velocity of ball does not change even on entering water. If viscosity of water is h, the value of h is given by
Velocity of ball when it strikes the water surface v=√2gh ...(i)
Terminal velocity of ball inside the water v=29r2 g(ρ−1)η ....(ii)
Equating (i) and (ii) we get √2gh=29r2 gη(ρ−1)
⇒ h=281r4(ρ−1η)2 g
