Question 53
CHNAT2 marksNeeds review
A large tank is filled with water (density = 1 g·cm
) up to a height of 5 m. A 100 μm diameter solid spherical particle (density = 0.8 g·cm
) is released at the bottom of the tank. The particle attains terminal velocity (
) after traveling to a certain height in the tank. Use acceleration due to gravity as 10 m·s
and water viscosity as 10
Pa·s. Neglect wall effects on the particle. If Stokes law is applicable, the absolute value of
(in mm·s
) is __________(rounded off to two decimal places).Log in to check the answer
