Two small spherical metal balls, having equal masses, are made from materials of densities \(\rho_1\) and \(\rho_2\) such that \(\rho_1=8\rho_2\) and having radii of \(1\) mm and \(2\) mm, respectively. They are made to fall vertically (from rest) in a viscous medium whose coefficient of viscosity equals \(\eta\) and whose density is \(0.1\rho_2\). The ratio of their terminal velocities would be:

1. \(\dfrac{79}{72}\) 2. \(\dfrac{19}{36}\)
3. \(\dfrac{39}{72}\) 4. \(\dfrac{79}{36}\)

A soap bubble, having a radius of \(1~\text{mm}\), is blown from a detergent solution having a surface tension of \(2.5\times 10^{-2}~\text{N/m}\). The pressure inside the bubble equals at a point \(Z_0\) below the free surface of the water in a container. Taking \(g = 10~\text{m/s}^{2}\), the density of water \(= 10^{3}~\text{kg/m}^3\), the value of \(Z_0\) is:
