Q.No.6.2:- What is meant by drag force? What are the factors upon which drag force acting upon a small sphere of radius r, moving down through a liquid, depend?

Ans:-   When an object moving through a fluid then it will experience a  retarding(opposing) force called drag force. This force increase as the speed of the object increases in the fluid. The drag force ‘F’ is given by ‘Stockes Law’




The factors upon which drag force depends are:

(i)                  Speed of the sphere

(ii)                 Radius of the sphere

(iii)               Coefficient of viscosity
