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