Stoke’s Law<br />
‣ The settling time of a particle of a given<br />
density falling in a liquid of a given<br />
viscosity is proportional to the square of<br />
the particles radius.<br />
‣ What does this mean? – Bigger particles<br />
fall faster!!!<br />
and<br />
‣ If we know the viscosity of the liquid and<br />
the density of the particles we can figure<br />
out their size.
