Stokes' law describes sedimentation of particles in liquids and can be used to measure viscosity. Particles in liquids achieve terminal velocity quickly. One can measure the time it takes for a particle to
fall a certain distance and then use Stokes' law to calculate the viscosity of the liquid. Suppose a steel ball bearing (density 7.8 x 10° kg/m³, diameter 2.6 mm) is dropped in a container of motor oil. It
takes 10 s to fall a distance of 0.70 m. Calculate the viscosity (in kg/(m.s)) of the oil.

- An inflated spherical beach ball with a radius of 0.3573 m and average density of 10.65 kg/m3 is being held under water in a pool by Janelle. The density of the water in the pool is 1000.0 kg/m3. When Janelle releases the ball, it begins to rise to the surface. If the drag coefficient of the ball in the water is 0.470 and the constant upward force on the ball is 1875 N, what will be the terminal speed of the ball as it rises?

To achieve the size and shape for the strongest possible arch, he suspends a chain from two equally elevated supports as far apart as the arch is wide and allows the chain to hang as low as the arch is high. He then designs the arch to have exactly the inverted shape of the hanging chain.
