Which of the following relations is dimensionally correct ?
  1. \(\mathrm{v} \propto \frac{\mathrm{mgr}}{\eta}\)
  2. \(\mathrm{v} \propto \mathrm{mg} \eta \mathrm{r}\)
  3. \(\mathrm{v} \propto \frac{\mathrm{mg}}{\mathrm{r} \eta}\)
  4. \(\mathrm{v} \propto \frac{\eta \mathrm{mg}}{\eta}\)

Answer

(C) v mg r
