The velocity of falling lead shot goes on increasing due to the effective force acting downward on the ball. The layer of glycerine in contact with lead shot tends to move with velocity of lead shot, a stage is finally reachedwhenthe opposing viscous force becomes equal to the effective force driving the ball. The net force on the shot is now zero and lead shot attain a constant velocity called the terminal velocity.
