An ion-exchange bed of 7 ft deep beads is to be backwashed with water to remove dirt from it. The particles have a size of 1 mm and assumed to be spherical. At incipient fluidization the porosity of the bed is 0.41. The viscosity of the fluid is given as 0.011 Poise. If the minimum fluidization velocity is 2.1 mm/sec, the density of the particles in gram per cubic centimeter, is
