with proof of the viscosity equation
A falling ball experiment is done to find the viscosity of a liquid. The following information are available. Diameter of the sphere =0.01m Overall height of the cylinder =3.5m s.g. fluid =0.9 s.g. sphere =2.7 Travel distance =3m Travel time =8s The viscous drag force on a sphere is given by Stokes' law Where: : is the viscosity of the fluid that the sphere is falling through, r : is the radius of the sphere, v: is the velocity of the sphere. Find the viscosity of the liquid by providing a proof of the viscosity equation.
