NEET 2021 Physics Viscosity MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

The velocity of a small ball of mass M and density d, when dropped in a container filled with glycerine becomes constant after some time. If the density of glycerine is d/2, then the viscous force acting on the ball will be :

A

Mg/2

B

Mg

C

3/2 Mg

D

2Mg

Correct Answer

Option A
