Question: 2 ) A 0 . 0 5 diameter spherical particle with specific gravity 2 . 5 is ejected from an exhaust pipe into standard air

2) A 0.05 diameter spherical particle with specific gravity 2.5 is ejected from an exhaust pipe into standard air at a velocity of 15 m/s.
a) Calculate the travel distance before it is stopped by viscous friction? If we ignore the effect of gravity.
b) How long does it take for the particle to come to 5% of its initial velocity?
c) Suppose a large ball (of diameter 75 mm and 150 g) is injected at the same velocity into a tank filled with a viscous fluid, and it stops after 6 meters, calculate the viscosity of the fluid.
