A large tank is filled with water (density = 1 g·cm−3) up to a height of 5 m. A 100 μm diameter solid spherical particle (density = 0.8 g·cm−3) is released at the bottom of the tank. The particle attains its terminal velocity (vt) after traveling to a certain height in the tank. Use acceleration due to gravity as 10 m·s−2 and water viscosity as 10−3 Pa·s. Neglect wall effects on the particle. If Stokes' law is applicable, the absolute value of vt (in mm·s−1) is ____________ (rounded off to two decimal places).
Correct : 2.00
