About This Product
Once a ball reaches steady speed, its weight is balanced by buoyancy and viscous drag, so timing its fall gives the viscosity of the liquid. With the viscosity known, the same set-up yields drag coefficients for spheres and for other shapes that students make themselves. The Falling Sphere Viscosimeter can be dispatched from India to Mongolia, Belarus, Libya, Kazakhstan, Bhutan and South Sudan.
