In a falling-ball viscometer, a steel ball with a diameter of 0.063 in is allowed to fall

Question:

In a falling-ball viscometer, a steel ball with a diameter of 0.063 in is allowed to fall freely in a heavy fuel oil having a specific gravity of 0.94. Steel weighs 0.283 lb/in3. If the ball is observed to fall 10.0 in in 10.4 s, calculate the dynamic viscosity of the oil in lb∙s2 /ft.
