To determine terminal velocity of a body in a viscous medium (e.g., glycerine) by Stoke's Law
Terminal Velocity by Stokes’ Law Apparatus is a physics laboratory experiment designed to determine the terminal velocity of a small spherical body falling through a viscous medium, such as glycerine, and to study the relationship between viscous force and the motion of a body through a liquid. The experiment is based on Stokes’ Law, which explains the viscous resistance experienced by a small sphere moving through a fluid.
This educational apparatus is suitable for physics laboratories in schools, colleges, universities, engineering institutions, and scientific training centers. It helps students understand viscosity, terminal velocity, gravitational force, buoyancy, and viscous drag through practical observation and calculation. The experiment can also be used to estimate the coefficient of viscosity of a liquid when the relevant measurements and assumptions are satisfied.
Aim : Study or demonstrate the principle described by the experiment or apparatus name: To determine terminal velocity of a body in a viscous medium (e.g., glycerine) by Stoke's Law.
Typical contents: Transparent measuring tube or container, spherical test balls, measuring scale, stopwatch, viscous liquid (if supplied), and experiment instructions. Exact accessories and dimensions may vary by model and supplier.
