Stokes' Formula

Viscosity force acting on a smooth sphere.

The force of viscosity acting on a smooth sphere in stream line motion can be expressed with Stokes' formula:

F = 6 π η r v                                           (1)

where 

F = force (N)

η = viscosity of fluid

r = radius of sphere (m)

v= relative velocity between fluid and sphere (m/s)
