StillSpringWater Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 (edited) For my IA i need to derive this equation i dont even know where to start my question is How does the terminal velocity of a sphere through fluid depend on the fluids temperature? i know how to calculate these values, just how to i get to this equation. it was given to me in confidence but I need to prove in the write up thati know how to do this Edited June 20, 2016 by Junayd Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kw0573 Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 Unfortunately, it is IB policy that others cannot provide direct assistance in an IA, including derive a formula for you. That being said, if you find an explanation online, such as on a university physics page, you can cite it. One way you can verify if the formula is correct is to use dimension analysis. If μ is viscosity, then there is no temperature unit anywhere to cancel to temperature term on the top, so I don't think the formula is correct. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
