Sedimentation is an important process to separate solids from liquids in order to clarify the liquid. a) Please use a balance of forces to derive the terminal velocity of a settling particle (spherical) as a function of the drag coefficient cp in a gravitational field. b) What needs to be changed to the formula obtained in a) if a centrifugal field is considered?
