At terminal velocity downward force(weight) equalizes upward or retarding force which are upthrust and viscous drag(Fd)

TV occurs when the downward force of gravity (Fg) equal to the air resistance or force of the drag (Fd)

In the context of the question, the object is likely falling downward due to gravity.

In this case:

1. Weight acts downward (due to gravity).
2. Retarding force (viscous force + drag) acts upward, opposing the downward motion.

Since they act in opposite directions, they can balance each other out when the object reaches terminal velocity.
