Q4medium

A metal sphere of radius 2,mm2,\text{mm} falls through a liquid with a constant terminal velocity of 5,cm/s5,\text{cm/s}. If another metal sphere of radius 4,mm4,\text{mm} of the same material is dropped in the same liquid, what will be its terminal velocity?

Q5medium

A fluid flows through a pipe of uniform cross-section. If the velocity of the fluid at the center of the pipe is VmaxV_{max}, and the velocity at the walls is zero (due to no-slip condition), which of the following best describes the velocity profile for laminar flow?

Q6medium
