A paramecium is an elongated unicellular organism with approximately 50 μmin diameters and 150 μmin lengths. It swims through water by whip-like movements of cilia, small hairs on the outside of its body. Because it moves "head first" through the water, drag is determined primarily by its diameter and only secondarily by its length, so it's reasonable to model the paramecium as a 70-μm diameter sphere. A paramecium uses 2.0 PW of locomotive power to propel itself through 20∘C water, where 1 pW = 1 picowatt = 10−12W. What is its swimming speed in μm/s? Express your answer in micrometers per second.
