    A body falling in a relatively dense fluid, oil for example, is acted on by three forces (see Figure 2.3.5): a resistive force R, a buoyant force B, and its weight w due to gravity. The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. For a slowly moving spherical body of radius a, the resistive force is given by Stokes's law, R = 6*pi*u*a*|v|, where v is the velocity of the body, and u...
