Question: Under 2 0 C , particles assumed to be perfect spheres with a density of 1 . 8 g c m 3 have the following

Under 20C, particles assumed to be perfect spheres with a density of 1.8gcm3 have the
following radii and settling velocities in water. The velocities are calculated by equating the
drag force calculated from Stoke's Law to the gravitational force acting on the sphere:
6rVs=43r3(2-1)g and rearranging to give the velocity as:
vs=2(2-1)gr29(or in terms of dp;vs=(2-1)gdp218)
Check if Stoke's Law is valid for these particles, if not find the true velocity.
=0.01gcms(at20C)
