93.

A spherical particle falling at a terminal speed in a liquid must have the gravitational force balanced by the drag force and the buoyant force. The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid, while the drag force is assumed to be given by Stokes Law, ?s=6????.Fs=6πrηv. Show that the terminal speed is given by ?=2?2?9?(?s?1)v=2R2g9η(ρs−ρ1)R is the radius of the sphere, ?sρs is its density, and ?1ρ1 is the density of the fluid, and ?η

You drop a spherical marble into a viscous fluid such as jam. The viscosity of the jam is η=20 Pa.s and the densities of the marble and the jam are 2600 and 1400 kg/m3, respectively. The radius of the marble is 0.5 cm. The marble quickly reaches terminal speed due to the interplay of 3 forces: its weight, the buoyant force and the viscous force (assume Stokes’ law). Calculate the terminal speed of the marble

In addition to the buoyant force, an object moving in a liquid experiences a linear drag force Fdrag = (bv, direction opposite the motion), where b is a constant. For a sphere of radius R, the drag constant can be shown to be b = 6πηR, where η is the viscosity of the liquid. Consider a sphere of radius R and density ρ that is released from rest at the surface of a liquid with density ρf. a. Find an...

Very small objects, such as dust particles, experience a linear drag force, D⃗ D→ = (bv, direction opposite the motion), where b is a constant. For a sphere of radius R, the drag constant can be shown to be b=6πηR, where η is the viscosity of the gas. Suppose a gust of wind has carried a 52-μm-diameter dust particle to a height of 260 m. If the wind suddenly stops, how long will it take the dust particle to settle...

Large objects have inertia and tend to keep moving-Newton's first law. Life is very different for small microorganisms that swim through water. For them, drag forces are so large that they instantly stop, without coasting, if they cease their swimming motion. To swim at constant speed, they must exert a constant propulsion force by rotating corkscrew-like flagella or beating hair-like cilia. The quadratic model of drag given by the equation, D⃗  = (12CρAv2, direction opposite the motion), fails for very small...
