A stainless steel ball (radius rsphere = 0.3175 cm, density ρsphere = 7.866 g/cm3) falls through a viscous fluid (density ρfluid = 1.2 g/cm3) and quickly reaches terminal speed v.   You measure the ball’s position as a function of time to find v.

The ball is at positions y = 10 cm at time 2.402 and at position y = 5 cm at time 3.26. Calculate the viscosity η of the fluid in units of poise = g/(cm-s), using your measured speed v. (Refer to studio session 9.) Use g = 981 cm/s2. Then calculate the Reynolds number R for the ball falling through the fluid.

What is the value of the viscosity η in poise?

Enter a number with two digits behind the decimal point.
