Problem

A ball of density 3500 kg m−33500 \text{ kg m}^{-3} and radius 6.0 mm is released from rest in a liquid of density 920 kg m−3920 \text{ kg m}^{-3} and viscosity 0.70 Pa s0.70 \text{ Pa s} . (1) What is the terminal speed of the ball as it falls through the liquid? Ignore the buoyant force. (2) How do you expect the answer to a to change if the liquid temperature is increased? (3) Repeat a taking the buoyant force into account.
