    Eight equal drops of water are falling through air with a steady velocity of \[10\text{ }cm\text{ }{{s}^{-1}}\].If the drops combine to form a single drop big in size, then the terminal velocity of this big drop is

    A)  \[40\text{ }cm{{s}^{-1}}\]

    B)  \[10\text{ }cm{{s}^{-1}}\]

    C)  \[30\text{ }cm{{s}^{-1}}\]

    D)  \[80\text{ }cm{{s}^{-1}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Here, \[v\propto {{r}^{2}}\] \[\therefore \] \[\frac{{{v}_{1}}}{{{v}_{2}}}=\frac{r_{1}^{2}}{{{8}^{2/3}}.{{r}^{2}}}\] \[\frac{10}{{{v}_{2}}}=\frac{1}{4}\] \[{{v}_{2}}=40\,cm/s\]
