A student wishes to perform an experiment on terminal velocities. He suspends a spherical-tipped caplet above a vat of water and then drops it end-on and then transversely into the water noting the terminal velocity (see Figure P13.6). The density of the caplet is \(1500 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\). It has a diameter of \(4 \mathrm{~mm}\) and a length of \(25 \mathrm{~mm}\). Estimate the terminal velocities the student measures if the experiment takes place at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\).
