(a) Explanation Given information: A body falling in a relatively dense fluid is acted on by three forces; a resistive force R , a buoyant force B , and its weight w due to gravity as shown below, The Stokes’s law for resistive force is given by R = 6 π μ a | v | , where v is velocity of a body, and μ is the coefficient of viscosity of the surrounding fluid. A solid sphere of radius a and density ρ falling freely in a medium of density ρ ' and coefficient of viscosity μ The differential equation for the velocity v of an object of mass m restricted to vertical motion and forces a resistive force R , a buoyant force B , and its weight w due to gravity is m d v d t = − R + B . The resistive force R = 6 π μ a | v | Since, a buoyant force is simply the difference of an upward force and a downward force, upward force =volume of sphere ×density of medium×gravity = 4 3 π a 3 × ρ ' × g downward force =volume of sphere ×density of sphere×gravity= 4 3 π a 3 × ρ × g B = 4 3 π a 3 × ρ ' × g − 4 3 π a 3 × ρ × g ⇒ B = ρ ' 4 3 π a 3 g − ρ 4 3 π a 3 g , Substituting these values in the equation m d v d t = − R + B m d v d t = − 6 π μ a | v | + ρ ' 4 3 π a 3 g − ρ 4 3 π a 3 g m d v d t = − 6 π μ a | v | + 4 3 π a 3 g ( ρ ' − ρ ) Dividing both side m d v d t = − 6 π μ a m | v | + 4 3 π a 3 g m ( ρ ' − ρ ) To solve this, it can be written as d v d t + 6 π μ a m | v | = 4 3 π a 3 g m ( ρ ' − ρ ) Comparing this with the first order linear differential equation d y d t + p ( t ) y = g ( t ) p ( t ) = 6 π μ a m and g ( t ) = 4 3 π a 3 g m ( ρ ' − ρ ) Integrating factor is μ ( t ) = e ∫ 6 π μ a m d t Multiplying by μ ( t ) = e 6 π μ a t m on both side of d v d t + 6 π μ a m | v | = 4 3 π a 3 g m ( ρ ' − ρ ) (b) To determine An expression for e , such that E has been adjusted, so the droplet is stationary where a field of strength E exerts a force E e on a droplet with charge e

3. Bayesian Inference – Updating Beliefs A medical test for a rare disease has the following characteristics: Sensitivity (true positive rate): 99% Specificity (true negative rate): 98% The disease occurs in 0.5% of the population. A patient receives a positive test result. Questions: a) Define the relevant events and use Bayes’ Theorem to compute the probability that the patient actually has the disease.b) Explain why the result might seem counterintuitive, despite the high sensitivity and specificity.c) Discuss how prior probabilities influence posterior beliefs in Bayesian inference.d) Suppose a second, independent test with the same accuracy is conducted and is also positive. Update the probability that the patient has the disease.
