Mechanical Properties Of Fluids Question 1

Question 1 - 24 January - Shift 2

A Spherical ball of radius $1 mm$ and density $10.5 g / cc$ is dropped in glycerine of coefficient of viscosity 9.8 poise and density $1.5 g / cc$. Viscous force on the ball when it attains constant velocity is $3696 \times 10^{-x} N$. The value of $x$ is

(Given, $g=9.8 m / s^{2}$ and $\pi=\frac{22}{7}$ )

Show Answer

Answer: (7)

Solution:

Formula: Terminal velocity

When the ball attain terminal velocity

$F_v=(mg-F_B)(\because a=0)$

$=V \sigma_b g-V \rho _{\ell} g$

$=Vg(\sigma_b-\rho _{\ell})$

$=\frac{4}{3} \pi(10^{-3})^{3} \times 9.8(10.5-1.5) \times 10^{3}$

$=3696 \times 10^{-7} N$

So, $x=7$
