A small sphere of radius 'r' falls from rest in a viscous liquid. As a result, heat is produced due to viscous force. The rate of production of heat when the sphere attains its terminal velocity, is proportional to

A

r5r^5

B

r2r^2

C

r3r^3

D

r4r^4

Step-by-Step Solution

Sol. Power=6πηrVTVT=6πηrVT2\text{Power} = 6\pi\eta r V_T \cdot V_T = 6\pi\eta r V_T^2

VTr2V_T \propto r^2

Powerr5\Rightarrow \text{Power} \propto r^5
