    When a body falls in air, the resistance of air depends to a great extent on the shape of the body. Three different shapes are given. Identify the combination of air resistances which truly represents the physical situation? (The cross-sectional areas are the same).                                                  

    A)  1 < 2 < 3  

    B)                        2 < 3 < 1              

    C)        3 < 2 < 1     

    D)        3 < 1 < 2

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                   Figure 3 is streamlined, so air resistance of it will be minimum. For figure 1 surface area is maximum, so air resistance for it is maximum. Hence, correct sequence is 3 < 2 < 1.
