Question 3. [20 Points] The "Falling Ball Method" is used to measure the viscosity of a liquid. The liquid is placed in the glass container. It takes 6.4 s for the steel ball with a diameter of 5.00 mm to travel downward 200 mm in the liquid. The density of the steel ball is 7840 kg/m, and the density of the liquid is 1200 kg/m. Your task is to work out the viscosity of liquid. Note that if you make assumptions in your calculations, those assumptions must be clearly stated and verified whenever possible.
