- A spherical particle falling at a terminal speed in a liquid must have the gravitational force balanced by the drag force the buoyant force. The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid, while drag force assumed to be given by Stokes Law, Fs=6rv .

It takes 1.2 minutes to fill. An adjustable nozzle is attached to the hose to decrease the diameter of the opening, which increases the speed of the water. The hose is held level to the ground at a height of 1.0 meters and the diameter is decreased until a flower bed 3.0 meters away is reached.
