Viscosity
Question

A rain drop of radius 0.3 mm falling vertically downwards in air has a terminal velocity of 1 m/s. The viscosity of air is 18 x 10-5 poise. The viscous force on the drop is

Moderate
Solution

Viscous force = 6πηrv = 6πηrv = 6π×18×10-5×0.03×100

                     = 101.73 × 10-4 dyne
