Question: Motion of a sphere in a liquid, a hollow sphere, 5.00 mm in diameter, with a mass of 0.0500 g, is released in a column

Motion of a sphere in a liquid, a hollow sphere, 5.00 mm in diameter, with a mass of 0.0500 g, is released in a column of liquid and attains a terminal velocity of 0.500 cm/s. The liquid density is 0.900 g/cm3. The local gravitational acceleration is 980.7 cm/sec2. The sphere is far enough from the containing walls so that their effect can be neglected. 

(a) Compute the drag force on the sphere in dynes. 

(b) Compute the friction factor. 

(c) Determine the viscosity of the liquid in centipoises.
