    A rain drop of radius 0.3 mm has a terminal velocity of 1 m/s in air. The viscosity of air is \[18\times {{10}^{-5}}\]poise. The visious forces on the drop will be:

    A)  \[16.95\times {{10}^{-9}}N\]     

    B)  \[1.695\times {{10}^{-9}}N\]

    C)  \[10.17\times {{10}^{-9}}N\]     

    D)  \[101.73\times {{10}^{-9}}N\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The formula for viscous force is \[F=6\pi \eta r\upsilon \] Given: Here, viscosity \[\eta =18\times {{10}^{-5}}\text{poise = 18}\times {{10}^{-6}}kg/m\,sec\] Radius\[r=0.3\,mm=0.3\times {{10}^{-3}}m\] Velocity \[\upsilon =1m/s\] So,\[F=6\times 3.14\times 18\times {{10}^{-16}}\times 0.3\times {{10}^{-3}}\times 1\] \[=101.73\times {{10}^{-9}}N\]
