Lead ball falls through water more slowly than through air because __________?

  • A. The value of 'g' is less in water
  • B. Density of air is less than that of water
  • C. Of the viscous force in water
  • D. Of The surface tension of water

Explanation

Water exerts greater viscous resistance on the falling ball than air does, opposing its motion more strongly. The value of gravitational acceleration is essentially the same in air and water.
