A small sphere with (D=6 mathrm{~mm}) is observed to fall through castor oil at a terminal speed

Question:

A small sphere with \(D=6 \mathrm{~mm}\) is observed to fall through castor oil at a terminal speed of \(60 \mathrm{~mm} / \mathrm{s}\). The temperature is \(20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). Compute the drag coefficient for the sphere. Determine the density of the sphere. If dropped in water, would the sphere fall slower or faster? Why?
