What is the settling velocity of a discrete particle in a wide body of water when the relevant Reynolds number is less than 0.5? The diameter and specific gravity of the particle are 2 x 10-3 cm and 2.65, respectively. Water temperature is 20°C. (Kinematic viscosity = 2 x 10-2 cm²/ sec.)
A spherical particle has a radius of 5 x 10-3 cm and specific gravity of 2.65. Considering kinematic viscosity of water as 1.012 x 10-2 cm2/sec, then settling velocity of the particle is x 10-3 m/sec.
