Question: A solid steel cylinder, 4.5 cm in diameter and 12 cm long, with a mass of 1500 grams, falls concentrically through a 5-cm-diameter vertical container

A solid steel cylinder, 4.5 cm in diameter and 12 cm long, with a mass of 1500 grams, falls concentrically through a 5-cm-diameter vertical container filled with oil (SG = 0.89). Assuming the oil is incompressible, estimate the oil average velocity in the annular clearance between cylinder and container (a) relative to the container; and (b) relative to the cylinder.
