Question:
Consider a small bubble of air rising slowly in a large expanse of water. If the bubble is large enough for surface tension to be ignored, then it will form an irregular cap of radius r. Show that the speed with which the bubble rises is roughly (gr)1/2. (A more refined estimate gives a numerical coefficient of 2/3.)
