With what terminal speed would a steel ball bearing 2.00 $\mathrm{mm}$ in diameter fall in a liquid of viscosity 0.150 $\mathrm{N} \cdot \mathrm{s} / \mathrm{m}^{2}$ if we could neglect buoyancy?
At what speed does a steel sphere of radius 2 mm fall into a tank of glycerin (viscosity 8.3 poise) at an instant when its acceleration is half that of a body in free fall? What is the terminal velocity of the sphere?

A steel ball of diameter $3.2 \mathrm{~mm}$ falls under gravity through an oil of density $920 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^{-3}$ and viscosity $1.64 \mathrm{Ns} \mathrm{m}^{-2}$. The density of steel. may be taken as $7820 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^{-3}$. What is the terminal velocity of the ball ? (A) $3.45 \mathrm{cms}^{-1}$ (B) $4.25 \mathrm{cms}^{-1}$ (C) $1.85 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}$ (D) $2.39 \mathrm{cms}^{-1}$
