Find the terminal velocity of a spherical bacterium (diameter 2.00 pm) falling in water. You will first need to note that the drag force is equal to the weight at terminal velocity. Take the density of the bacterium to be 1.10103 kg/m3.
Stokes' law describes sedimentation of particles in liquids and can be used to measure viscosity. Particles in liquids achieve terminal velocity quickly. One can measure the time it takes for a particle to fall a certain distance and then use Stokes' law to calculate the viscosity of the liquid. Suppose a steel ball bearing (density 7.8103 kg/m3, diameter 3.0 mm) is dropped in a container of motor oil. It takes 12 s to fall a distance of 0.60 m. Calculate the viscosity of the oil.
Calculate the speed a spherical rain drop would achieve falling from 5.00 km (a) in the absence of air drag (b) with air drag. Take the size across of the drop to be 4 mm, the density to be 1.00103 kg/m3, and the surface area to be r2.
On October 21, 2001, Ian Ashpole of the United Kingdom achieved a record altitude of 3.35 km (11 000 ft) powered by 600 toy balloons filled with helium. Each filled balloon had a radius of about 0.50 m and an estimated mass of 0.30 kg. (a) Estimate the total buoyant force on the 600 balloons. (b) Estimate the net upward force on all 600 balloons, (c) Ashpole parachuted to Earth after the balloons began to burst at the high altitude and the system lost buoyancy. Why did the balloons burst?
Is it easier for a large person to float in a lake than a small person? Explain.
A spherical vessel used for deep-sea exploration has a radius of 1.50 m and a mass of 1.20 104 kg. To dive, the vessel takes oil mass in the form of seawater. Determine the mass the vessel must take on if it is to descend at a constant speed of 1.20 m/s, when the resistive force on it is 1 100 N in the upward direction. The density of seawater is equal to 1.03 103 kg/m3.
When an object is immersed in a liquid at rest, why is the net force on the object in the horizontal direction equal to zero?
Using Stokes' law, verify that the units for viscosity are kilograms per meter per second.
A spherical particle falling at a terminal speed in a liquid must have the gravitational force balanced by the drag force and the buoyant force. The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid, while the drag force is assumed to be given by Stokes Law, Fs=6rv. Show that the terminal speed is given by v=2R2g9(s1), where R is the radius of the sphere, s is its density, and 1 is the density of the fluid and the coefficient of viscosity.

(a) A wry powerful vacuum cleaner has a hose 2.86 cm in diameter.

Find the greatest force the octopus can exert on a clamshell in salt water 32.3 m deep.
The terminal velocity of a person falling in air depends upon the weight and the area of the person facing the fluid. Find the terminal velocity (in meters per second and kilometers per hour) of an 80.0-kg skydiver falling in a pike (headfirst) position with a surface area of 0.140 m2.
