Maharashtra State Board: Class 11

Formula: Terminal Velocity

v = \[\frac{2}{9}\cdot\frac{r^2(\rho-\sigma)g}{\eta}\]

where:

  • v = terminal velocity
  • r = radius of the body
  • ρ = density of the body
  • σ = density of the fluid
  • g = acceleration due to gravity
  • η = coefficient of viscosity of the fluid
