Stokes' Law. ... He found what has become known as Stokes' Law: the drag force F on a sphere of radius a moving through a fluid of viscosity η at speed v is given by: F=6πaηv. Note that this drag force is directly proportional to the radius.....
derivation
Dimensional analysis proof of Stokes' Law
Suppose that the sphere has radius r and falls through a fluid of viscosity η. Let the terminal velocity be v (Figure 1).
We can calculate the viscous drag F on the sphere by dimensional analysis.
If
F = krxηyvz
We have MLT-2 = Lx(ML-1T-1)y(LT- 1)z
Solving this gives x = 1, y = 1 and z = 1.
By other methods k can be shown to be 6π.
Thus giving:
F = 6πηrv
Answer:
Stokes law defines the force required to move a sphere through a given viscous fluid at a low uniform velocity is directly proportional to the velocity and radius of the sphere.
Now, assume that the sphere has radius r which falls through a fluid of viscosity η.
Let, the terminal velocity be v. We can calculate the viscous F on the sphere by dimensional analysis.
Solving this ,
we obtain,
x = 1, y = 1 and z = 1.
