What is surface tension and why do small liquid drops take a spherical shape?
Properties of Bulk Matter
Original Khojo Papers practice question — not from a past board paper.
Stokes' law states that the viscous force on a small sphere of radius r moving with velocity v through a fluid of coefficient of viscosity η is F = 6πηrv. Terminal velocity is the constant velocity a body reaches when the viscous force and the upthrust together balance its weight, so the net force and the acceleration become zero.
No citable source has been recorded for this record. Treat it as practice material, not as fact.
A raindrop reaches its terminal velocity within a few metres of falling.
