Class Exercise: Terminal velocity
Dust particles of diameter 0.06 mm and density 1.6 g/cm are unsettled during
high winds and rise to a height of 350 m by the time things calm down.
Estimate how long will it take for the dust particles to fall back to the ground in
still air at 1 atm and 15°C, and their velocity. Disregard the initial transient
period during which the dust particles accelerate their terminal velocity, and
assume Stokes law to be applicable.
