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
V=2gr2ρsphere-ρmedium9η
where r is the radius of the still ball = 2 mm = 2×10-3 m, ρsphere is the density of the still ball = 8 g/cc = 8000 kg/m3, and ρmedium  is density of the medium = 1.3 g/cc = 1300 kg/m3, terminal velocity v is 4 cm/s = 0.04 m/s and η is the viscosity.
So viscosity is
η=2gr2ρsphere-ρmedium9v=2×9.8×2×10-32×8000-13009×0.04=1.46 pa s
Now the viscus force is given by f=6πηrv=6π×1.46×2×10-3×0.04=0.002N
