Question

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $$A$$ and the other is labelled as Reason $$R$$

Assertion $$A$$: A spherical body of radius $$\left( 5 \pm 0.1 ight) \, 	ext{mm}$$ having a particular density is falling through a liquid of constant density. The percentage error in the calculation of its terminal velocity is $$4\%$$.

Reason $$R$$: The terminal velocity of the spherical body falling through the liquid is inversely proportional to its radius.

Accepted Answer
