Diameter given Drag Force as per Stokes Law Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Diameter of Spherical particle = Drag Force/3*pi*Settling Velocity*Dynamic Viscosity
D_S = F_D/3*pi*v_s*μ_viscosity
This formula uses 1 Constants, 4 Variables

Constants Used

pi - Archimedes' constant Value Taken As 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288

Variables Used

Diameter of Spherical particle - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter of Spherical particle is the length of a straight line passing through the center of the sphere and connecting two points on its surface.
Drag Force - (Measured in Newton) - Drag Force is the resisting force experienced by an object moving through a fluid.
Settling Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Settling velocity is defined as the terminal velocity of a particle in still fluid.
Dynamic Viscosity - (Measured in Pascal Second) - The Dynamic Viscosity of a fluid is the measure of its resistance to flow when an external force is applied.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Drag Force: 80 Newton --> 80 Newton No Conversion Required
Settling Velocity: 1.5 Meter per Second --> 1.5 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Dynamic Viscosity: 10.2 Poise --> 1.02 Pascal Second (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

D_S = F_D/3*pi*v_s*μ_viscosity --> 80/3*pi*1.5*1.02

Evaluating ... ...

D_S = 128.176980266464

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

128.176980266464 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

128.176980266464 ≈ 128.177 Meter <-- Diameter of Spherical particle
