The velocity of water waves \(𝑣\) may depend upon their wavelength \(𝜆\), the density of water \(𝜌\) and the acceleration due to gravity \(g\). The method of dimensions gives the relation between these quantities as:
1. \(v^2 \propto g\lambda^{-1}\rho^{-1}\)
2. \(v^2 \propto g\lambda\rho\)
3. \(v^2 \propto g\lambda\)
4. \(v^2 \propto g^{-1}\lambda^{-3}\)

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. \(v_T \propto \frac{mgr}{\eta }\)
