Determine the speed with which the erythrocyte should move evenly with the observed erythrocyte sedimentation reaction. Consider the erythrocyte as a ball with a diameter of 9,7 µm. The density of the erythrocyte is 8,7 kg/m³, the density of blood plasma is 5,5 kg/m3. The viscosity of the blood plasma is 8 mPa s. Neglect the electrostatic expansion and magnetic properties of erythrocytes. Gravitational acceleration is taken equal to 10 m/s2. Give your answer in mm / hour. < >
