Concept explainers
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

- Air flows horizontally with a speed of 108 km/h over a house that has a flat roof of area 20.0 m2. Find the magnitude of the net force on the roof due to the air inside and outside the house. The density of air is 1.30 kg/m3, and the thickness of the roof is negligible.arrow_forwardAn 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_forward(a) When rebuilding her car's engine, a physics major must exert 300 N of force to insert a dry steel piston into a steel cylinder.

- 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. kg/(m-s)arrow_forwardA glass ball of radius 1.65 cm sits at the bottom of a container of milk that has a density of 1.03 g/cm3.
