Question
A spherical ball is dropped in a long column of a viscous liquid. The speed of the ball as a function of time may be best represented by the graph
Step 1
When a spherical ball is dropped in a viscous liquid, it experiences three main forces: gravitational force (weight), buoyant force, and viscous drag force. The gravitational force acts downward, the buoyant force acts upward, and the viscous drag force also acts Show more…

An iron ball with a mass of 0.5 g is moving down in a liquid with a viscosity coefficient b = 0.01 s-1, which exerts a friction force in the ball proportional to the square velocity fR = -bv2. Assuming the ball starts at rest in t=0, find the speed and position as a time function, and graph them.
The journey of a small spherical solid ball dropped in a viscous liquid is best described by: (a) curve $A$ (b) curve $B$ (c) curve $C$ (d) curve $D$
Figure 5.9 shows how the velocity of a steel ball depends on time as it falls through a viscous medium. Find the equation that gives the velocity as a function of time.
