Solution

The correct options are
B Radius of the drop is 2.14×106m
C Terminal velocity of the drop at half of this radius is 1.25×104 m/s
Terminal velocity of oil drop VT=29(ρσ)gr2η(As σ=0)VT=29(ρ)gr2η5×104=29×900×10×r21.8×105r2=4.5×1012r=2.14×106mNow if r1=r2,Let new terminal velocity be VTAs VTr2VTVT=r21r2VTVT=14VT=5×1044VT=1.25×104ms1
