    A small spherical ball of radius 0.1 mm0.1\text{ }mm and density 104 kg m−310^{4}\text{ }kg{\text{ }m}^{- 3} falls freely under gravity through a distance hh before entering a tank of water. If after entering the water the velocity of ball does not change and it continue to fall with same constant velocity inside water, then the value of hh will be ____\_\_\_\_ m. (Given g=10 ms−2g = 10{\text{ }ms}^{- 2}, viscosity of water =1.0×10−5= 1.0 \times10^{- 5}  N−sm−2)\left. \ N -sm^{- 2} \right).

    A spherical ball of radius 1×10−4 m1 \times10^{- 4}\text{ }m and density 10510^{5} kg/m3kg/m^{3} falls freely under gravity through a distance hh before entering a tank of water, If after entering in water the velocity of the ball does not change, then the value of hh is approximately : (The coefficient of viscosity of water is 9.8×10−69.8 \times10^{- 6} Ns/m2Ns/m^{2} )
