A small steel ball of radius \(r\) is allowed to fall under gravity through a column of a viscous liquid of coefficient of viscosity \(\eta\). After some time the velocity of the ball attains a constant value known as terminal velocity \(v_T\). The terminal velocity depends on \((\text{i})\) the mass of the ball \(m\) \((\text{ii})\) \(\eta\) \((\text{iii})\) \(r\) and \((\text{iv})\) acceleration due to gravity \(g\). Which of the following relations is dimensionally correct:
1. | \(v_T \propto \frac{mg}{\eta r}\) | 2. | \(v_T \propto \frac{\eta r}{mg}\) |
3. | \(v_T \propto \eta rmg\) | 4. | \(v_T \propto \frac{mgr}{\eta }\) |
The quantity is the permittivity of free space, L is length, V is the potential difference and t is time. The dimensions of X are the same as that of

Assertion: Out of three measurements l = 0.7 m; l = 0.70 m and l = 0.700 m, the last one is most accurate.
Reason: In every measurement, only the last significant digit is not accurately known.
Accuracy of measurement is determined by
(1) Absolute error
(2) Percentage error
(3) Both
(4) None of these
