Consider a spherical ash particle of diameter 65 µm, falling from a volcano at a high elevation in air whose temperature is −50°C and whose pressure is 55 kPa. The density of air is 0.8588 kg/m3 and its viscosity is 1.474 × 10−5 kg/m⋅s. The density of the particle is 1240 kg/m3. The drag force on a sphere in creeping flow is given by FD = 3??VD. The terminal velocity of this particle at this altitude is (a) 0.096 m/s (b) 0.123 m/s (c) 0.194 m/s (d ) 0.225 m/s (e) 0.276 m/s
