Answer: (2)
Solution:
$mg-F _B-F _v=ma$
$\left(\rho \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}\right) g-\left(\rho _L \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}\right) g-6 \pi \eta r v=m \frac{d v}{d t}$
Let $\frac{4}{3 m} \pi R^{3} g\left(\rho-\rho _L\right)=K _1$ and $\frac{6 \pi \eta r}{m}=K _2$
$\frac{dv}{dt}=K _1-K _2 v$
$\int _0^{v} \frac{d v}{K _1-K _2 v}=\int _0^{t} d t$ $-\frac{1}{K _2} \ln \left[K _1-K _2 v\right] _0^{v}=t$
$\ln \left(\frac{K _1-K _2 v}{K _1}\right)=-K _2 t$
$K _1-K _2 v=K _1 e^{-K _2 t}$
$v=\frac{K _1}{K _2}\left[1-e^{-K _2 t}\right]$
