A sphere of mass m and radius r is projected in a gravity free space with speed v. If coefficient of viscosity of the medium in which it moves is `1/(6pi)` , the distance travelled by the body before it stops isA. `(mv)/(2r)`B. `(mv)/(2r)`C. `(mv)/(r)`D. none of these

Answer» Correct Answer - C
The only force acting on the body is the viscous force
Here, `m(vdv)/(dx) = -6 pi eta rv = -rv`
`rArr underset(v) overset(0)int mdv = underset(0)overset(x)int - rdx rArr x = (mv)/(r)`
