1.	A lead ball is allowed to fall through an elongated column filled with glycerine. What sort of graph would we get on plotting the velocity (v) and the distance traversed (s) by the lead ball?
Answer» SOLUTION :Glycerine is a viscous liquid. We know that the velocity of the lead ball will increase at first, and, after sometime, it will move with a uniform velocity (terminalvelocity). The v-s GRAPH or velocity-displacement graph OBTAINED is as shown in Fig. 3.39.
