According to Stoke's law, the viscous drag force, on an oil drop is proportional
According to Stoke's law, the viscous drag force, on an oil drop is proportional to:
- A. \( \sqrt{V} \)
- B. \( V^{2} \)
- C. \( V^{-1} \)
- D. \( V \)
Step-by-step solution
Stokes' law states that the viscous drag force on a small spherical object moving through a viscous fluid is directly proportional to its velocity (F ∝ V) for low Reynolds numbers, making option D correct.
