Question

What is Stokes’s Law?

Answer

Stokes’s Law is: The viscous force is proportional to the velocity of the object and is opposite to the direction of motion. The other quantities on which the force F depends on viscosity η of the fluid and radius a of the sphere. Sir George G. Stokes (1819-1903), an English scientist enunciated clearly the viscous drag force F as below in the formula:- F = 6πηav
