JEE Main 6 April 2023, Shift 1, Physics Q33

Question 33 of 90 in this shift, Physics question 3 of 30, Section A.

A small ball of mass M and density ρ\rho is dropped in a viscous liquid of density ρ0\rho_0. After some time, the ball falls with a constant velocity. What is the viscous force on the ball ?
  1. (1)F=Mg(1−ρ0ρ)F=Mg\left(1-\frac{\rho_0}{\rho}\right)Official answer
  2. (2)F=Mg(1+ρ0ρ)F=Mg\left(1+\frac{\rho_0}{\rho}\right)
  3. (3)F=Mg(1+ρρ0)F=Mg\left(1+\frac{\rho}{\rho_0}\right)
  4. (4)F=Mg(1±ρρ0)F=Mg(1\pm\rho\rho_0)
