Stokes’ law describes sedimentation of particles in liquids and can be used to measure viscosity. particles in liquids achieve terminal velocity quickly. one can measure the time it takes for a particle to fall a certain distance and then use stokes’ law to calculate the viscosity of the liquid. suppose a steel ball bearing (density 7.8×103 kg/m3, diameter 3.0 mm) is dropped in a container of motor oil. it takes 12 seconds to fall a distance of 0.60 m. calculate the viscosity of the oil.

The key to stability is feedback between the reservoir and the fluxes into and/or out of the reservoir. assume that the rate of outflow from a reservoir depends on the size of the reservoir according to the following relationship: outflow rate= k x (size of reservoir), where k is a constant. a reservoir of water has a volume of 5000 liters, and the rate of outflow at steady state is 25 liters per minute. what is k? (give both the numerical value and its units.) what is the residence time? what is the relationship between k and the residence time?

Achlorine atom has 17 protons and 18 neutrons. what is its mass number? what is its atomic number?

Two cannon balls weighing 18 kg and 24 kg are chained together and fired horizontally with a velocity of 165 m/s from the top of a 21-m wall. the chain breaks during the flight of the cannonballs and the 18-kg cannonball strikes the ground at t = 1.5 s, at a distance of 240 m from the foot of the wall, and 7 m to the right of the line of fire. determine the position of the other cannonball at that instant. neglect the resistance of the air.
