The viscous force on a body depends on its velocity. The greater the velocity, the greater its viscous force. When a body falls from a sufficient height it acquires enough velocity to produce a viscous force that balances its height.The resultant force on the body being zero, the body moves with uniform velocity called terminal velocity.
