Question:

Dust particles of diameter 0.06 mm and density 1.6 g/cm3 are unsettled during high winds and rise to a height of 200 m by the time things calm down. Estimate how long it takes for the dust particles to fall back to the ground in still air at 1 atm and 30°C, and their velocity. Disregard the initial transient period during which the dust particles accelerate to their terminal velocity, and assume Stokes law to be applicable.
