solution:
radius of steel ball(r)=5cm=0.05m
density of ball =8000kgm
terminal velocity(v)=25m/s^2
density of air( d) =1.29 kgm
now
volume of ball(V)=4/3pir^3=1.33×3.14×0.05^3=0.00052 m^3
density of ball= mass of ball/Volume of ball
or, 8000=m/0.00052
or, m=4.16 kg
weight of the ball (W)= mg=4.16×10=41.6 N
viscous force(F)=6 × pi × eta × r × v
=6×3.14×eta×0.05×25
=23.55×eta
To attain the terminal velocity,
Fiscous force=Weight
or, 23.55× eta = 41.6
or, eta = 1.76
whete eta is the coefficient of viscosity.
