Question

A spherical ball of density ρ and radius 0.003m is dropped into a tube containing a viscous fluid filled up to the 0cm mark as shown in the figure. Viscosity of the fluid=1.2160N.m2 and its density ρL=ρ/2=1260kg.m3. Assume the ball reaches a terminal speed by the 10cm mark. Find the time taken (in sec) by the ball to traverse the distance between the 10cm and 20cm mark. (g=acceleration due to gravity =10ms2

Solution

We know that terminal velocity v=2(ρmetalρfluid)gR29μ
Here, R=3×103m
Putting the value we get ,ρmetalρfluid=ρmetal/2
We know that terminal velocity v=21260×g×9×10618×1.2160
v=2×102m/s
Distance traveled =10 cm =0.1m
t=0.1v=5 sec
