Question

A rain drop of radius r falls in air with a terminal speed vt. What is the terminal speed of a rain drop of radius 2r

Solution

Correct option is

 

The terminal speed of a liquid drop of radius r, density  falling in a fluid of viscosity  is given by    

           

Thus vt varies as r2.
