    A steel ball is dropped in oil, then

    A)  the ball attains constant velocity after same time

    B)  the ball stops

    C)  the speed of ball will keep on increasing

    D)  None of the above

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     According to stokes, when a spherical body falls through a viscous fluid. It experiences a viscous force. The magnitude of the viscous force, increases with the increase in velocity of the body falling under the action of its weight. As a result, the viscous force soon balances the driving force (weight of the body) and the body starts moving with a constant velocity know as its terminal velocity.
