Find the viscous force on a steel ball of 2 mm radius ( density 8 g/cc ) acquires a terminal velocity of 4 cm/s in falling freely in the tank of glycerine ( density of glycerine= 1.3 g / cc).
The formula for terminal velocity v is given by
where r is the radius of the still ball = 2 mm = m, is the density of the still ball = 8 g/cc = 8000 kg/m3, and is density of the medium = 1.3 g/cc = 1300 kg/m3, terminal velocity v is 4 cm/s = 0.04 m/s and is the viscosity.
So viscosity is
pa s
Now the viscus force is given by
where r is the radius of the still ball = 2 mm = m, is the density of the still ball = 8 g/cc = 8000 kg/m3, and is density of the medium = 1.3 g/cc = 1300 kg/m3, terminal velocity v is 4 cm/s = 0.04 m/s and is the viscosity.
So viscosity is
pa s
Now the viscus force is given by
