Question

 

Spherical particles of pollen are shaken up in water and allowed to settle. The depth of the water is . What is the diameter of largest particles remaining in suspension on hour later?

   

Solution

Correct option is

 

For pollen particles not reaching the bottom in 1 hour, 

        

Due to viscosity effects, the particles will move with terminal velocity v given by

        

        

Substituting,

          

and diameter,

            .
