Terminal velocity of body falling through a viscous fluid derived
in this video i get to derive the expression for terminal velocity of a body falling through a viscous fluid.

transcript;
in this video we get to discuss the
vertical motion of a body when it is
falling through a viscous fluid right
there we have a data that is describing
the solid sphere this solid sphere is
0:00:17.789,0:00:21.960
falling through what we call a viscous
0:00:19.770,0:00:22.949
fluid this viscous fluid could be
0:00:21.960,0:00:26.099
porridge
0:00:22.949,0:00:29.220
it could be glue it could be engine oil
0:00:26.099,0:00:32.040
does fluids that I think those are the
0:00:29.220,0:00:32.790
viscous fluids the ones that are hard to
penetrate
because of their viscosity and thickness
so now this body when it is falling
0:00:37.920,0:00:42.950
through the viscous fluid there are some
0:00:39.690,0:00:47.489
forces that are acting on this sphere
0:00:42.950,0:00:50.219
these forces are the upthrust force that
0:00:47.489,0:00:52.350
is derived from a Smithy's principle we
0:00:50.219,0:00:54.809
also have this force capital F called
0:00:52.350,0:00:57.539
the viscous drag the one that we
0:00:54.809,0:01:01.050
discussed in a previous session where we
0:00:57.539,0:01:02.789
had the basis for Stokes flow and that
0:01:01.050,0:01:05.880
then also we have the force that is
0:01:02.789,0:01:08.189
making this fold down in the liquid and
0:01:05.880,0:01:11.820
that force is what we are calling the
0:01:08.189,0:01:13.799
weight of this sphere the weight that is
0:01:11.820,0:01:15.990
propelling this fear to fall through
0:01:13.799,0:01:18.479
this viscous fluid so we have these
0:01:15.990,0:01:22.680
three forces we have this was down and
0:01:18.479,0:01:26.960
these two forces up now we assume that
0:01:22.680,0:01:29.970
this this sphere is falling through this
0:01:26.960,0:01:32.729
let's call let's assume this thing is
0:01:29.970,0:01:35.820
very tall and it's falling through a
0:01:32.729,0:01:39.270
very tall jar that is full of engine oil
0:01:35.820,0:01:42.869
for example so at the beginning this
0:01:39.270,0:01:45.210
weight is bigger or it is it is bigger
0:01:42.869,0:01:47.310
than these two forces combined in other
0:01:45.210,0:01:49.470
words the downward forces are bigger
0:01:47.310,0:01:51.869
than the upward forces and because the
0:01:49.470,0:01:54.630
downward force is bigger than the upward
0:01:51.869,0:01:58.170
force therefore there is an acceleration
0:01:54.630,0:02:02.460
as this sphere is dropping down the
0:01:58.170,0:02:04.740
fluid but after some time it's going to
0:02:02.460,0:02:08.190
happen in such a way that as this thing
0:02:04.740,0:02:11.129
goes down the downward forces are going
0:02:08.190,0:02:13.590
to be equal to the upward forces that
0:02:11.129,0:02:15.870
happens because this vehicle
0:02:13.590,0:02:18.060
used to go down the viscous drug keeps
0:02:15.870,0:02:20.459
increasing remember cording to stop slow
0:02:18.060,0:02:23.250
that as the velocity of this thing keeps
0:02:20.459,0:02:24.330
increasing because it is the velocity
0:02:23.250,0:02:26.940
keeps increasing
0:02:24.330,0:02:28.590
so as the velocity keeps increasing the
0:02:26.940,0:02:31.709
viscous drugs also keeps increasing
0:02:28.590,0:02:33.540
because the viscous drag if and the
0:02:31.709,0:02:36.450
velocity those two are directly
0:02:33.540,0:02:38.819
proportional according to stock we'd
0:02:36.450,0:02:42.150
covered that in the previous session so
0:02:38.819,0:02:44.160
as that continues this ball continues to
0:02:42.150,0:02:46.799
fall through this viscous drug the
0:02:44.160,0:02:49.319
downward forces eventually equalize with
0:02:46.799,0:02:52.349
the upward forces and now when the
0:02:49.319,0:02:55.079
downward forces equate or are now equal
0:02:52.349,0:02:59.190
to the upward forces you realize that
0:02:55.079,0:03:01.950
now this body or this fear stops
0:02:59.190,0:03:06.420
accelerating and so it starts moving at
0:03:01.950,0:03:07.860
a certain constant velocity now when it
0:03:06.420,0:03:10.470
starts moving at a constant velocity
0:03:07.860,0:03:12.900
because now there's no more acceleration
0:03:10.470,0:03:14.940
the resultant force on this thing is now
0:03:12.900,0:03:17.190
zero since the upward forces are now
0:03:14.940,0:03:19.139
equal to the downward forces that
0:03:17.190,0:03:22.260
velocity it will have attained is what
0:03:19.139,0:03:23.910
we call the terminal velocity so if I
0:03:22.260,0:03:26.970
may define what terminal velocity is
0:03:23.910,0:03:29.519
recon say that terminal velocity is the
0:03:26.970,0:03:31.829
