JEE Main 2023 Physics question on Properties of Matter

A Spherical ball of radius 1mm and density 10.5 g/cc is dropped in glycerine of coefficient of viscosity 9.8 poise and density 1.5 g/cc. Viscous force on the ball when it attains constant velocity is 3696×10−x3696 \times 10^{-x} N. The value of xx is (Given, g = 9.8 m/s2^2 and π=227\pi = \frac{22}{7})
Show answer and solution

Answer: 7

Solution

At terminal velocity, viscous force = net gravitational force (weight - buoyancy).

F = (4/3)πr³(ρ_ball - ρ_fluid)g

r = 1mm = 10⁻³ m, ρ_ball = 10500 kg/m³, ρ_fluid = 1500 kg/m³, g = 9.8 m/s²

F = (4/3) × (22/7) × (10⁻³)³ × (10500 - 1500) × 9.8

= (4/3) × (22/7) × 10⁻⁹ × 9000 × 9.8

= (88/21) × 10⁻⁹ × 88200

= (88 × 88200)/21 × 10⁻⁹

= (7,761,600/21) × 10⁻⁹

= 369,600 × 10⁻⁹

= 3696 × 10⁻⁷ N

So x = 7.
