Solution : _______________________
a) Radius r = = 3 √1.82x10-5x1.5x10-3/2x9.8x830 = 0.039x10-4 m
r = 0.039x10-4 m = 0.039x10-4 x 106 μm = 3.9 μm
b) Mass of the droplet m = Volume x Density = (4/3 Πr3)ρ = 4/3 Π (0.039x10-4)3 x 830 = 0.206 x 10-12 kg
m = 0.206 x 10-12 kg
c) Coefficient of friction f = mg/vt = 0.206 x 10-12 x 9.8/1.5x10-3 = 1.35 x 10-9 kg/s
f = 1.35 x 10-9 kg/s
