Question:
For a small particle of styrofoam (density \(=19.2 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\) ) that is spherical with a diameter \(d=1.0 \mathrm{~mm}\) falling in standard air at speed \(V\), the drag is given by \(F_{D}=3 \pi \mu V d\) where \(\mu\) is the air viscosity. Find
(a) the maximum speed of the particle starting from rest and
(b) the time it takes to reach \(95 \%\) of this speed. Plot the speed \((\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s})\) as a function of time.
