Please help me find the terminal velocity.

A rock with mass m = 2.50 kg falls from rest in a
viscous medium. The rock is acted on by a net
constant downward force of F = 15.9 N (a
combination of gravity and the buoyant force exerted
by the medium) and by a fluid resistance force
f = kv, where v is the speed in m/s and k = 2.58
N x s/m.
