JEE MAIN - Physics (2020 - 5th September Evening Slot - No. 2)

In an experiment to verify Stokes law, a small spherical ball of radius r and density $$\rho $$ falls under gravity through a distance h in air before entering a tank of water. If the terminal velocity of the ball inside water is same as its velocity just before entering the water surface, then the value of h is proportional to :
(ignore viscosity of air)
r
r4
r3
r2

Explanation

JEE Main 2020 (Online) 5th September Evening Slot Physics - Properties of Matter Question 186 English Explanation

After falling through h, the velocity be equal to terminal velocity

$$\sqrt {2gh} $$ = $${2 \over 9}{{{r^2}g} \over \eta }\left( {{\rho _l} - \rho } \right)$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ h = $${2 \over {81}}{{{r^4}g{{\left( {{\rho _l} - \rho } \right)}^2}} \over {{\eta ^2}}}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ h $$ \propto $$ r4
