Chapter 5, Problem 28PE
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

- 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? Ignore the effects of gravity on the ball.arrow_forwardA thin 1.5-mm coating of glycerine has been placed between two microscope slides of width 1.0 cm and length 4.0 cm.

- You and your team are exploring a river in South America when you come to the bottom of a tall waterfall. You estimate the cliff over which the water flows to be about 100 feet tall. You have to choose between climbing the cliff or backtracking and taking another route, but climbing the cliff would cut two hours off of your trip. There is only one experienced climber in the group: she would climb the cliff alone and drop a rope over the edge to lift supplies and allow the others to climb without packs. The climber estimates it will take her 45 minutes to get to the top. However, you are concerned that the rope mightbe too short to reach the bottom of the cliff (it is exactly 30.0 m long). If it is too short, she'll have to climb back down (another 45 minutes) and you will be too far behind schedule to get to your destination before dark. As you contemplate how to determine whether the rope is long enough, you notice that the late afternoon shadow of the cliff grows as the sun descends…arrow_forwardYou and your team are exploring a river in South America when you come to the bottom of a tall waterfall.

The student has a hollow ball made of two hemispherical shells that can be connected together and disconnected, along with access to other commonly available materials. Write an experimental procedure that the student could follow to make measurements in order to find the value of N, and explain how a graph of In(FA) vs. In(v) could be used to find the values of k and N.arrow_forward
