A solid sphere of radius R acquires a terminal velocity v1 when falling (due to gravity) through a viscous fluid having a coefficient of viscosity n. The sphere is broken into 27 identical solid spheres. If each of these spheres acquires a terminal velocity v2 when falling through the same fluid, the ratio (v1/v2) equals:

A solid sphere falls with a terminal velocity $v$ in air. If it is allowed to fall in vacuum, (a) terminal velocity of sphere $=\underline{v}$ (b) terminal velocity of sphere $<v$ (c) terminal velocity of sphere> $\boldsymbol{v}$ (d) sphere never attains terminal velocity
