What is the formula for the velocity of sedimentation of spherical particles according to Stoke's law?
What is the formula for the velocity of sedimentation of spherical particles according to Stoke's law?
- V = 2r^2g(ρ - ρo) / 9ηo (correct)
- V = 2rg(ρ - ρo) / 9ηo
- V = r^2g(ρ - ρo) / 9ηo
- V = r^2g(ρ - ρo) / 6ηo
