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, πΉs=6ππππ£.Fs=6ΟrΞ·v. Show that the terminal speed is given by π£=2π
2π9π(πsβπ1)v=2R2g9Ξ·(ΟsβΟ1) R is the radius of the sphere, πsΟs is its density, and π1Ο1 is the density of the fluid, and πΞ·
