Which laboratory device is based on Stokes's law for a sphere sinking in a stationary liquid?
AFalling-sphere viscometer
BVenturi flow meter
CPitot static tube
DOpen-tube manometer
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Falling-sphere viscometer
Timing a sphere of known size and density at terminal velocity gives the liquid viscosity through Stokes's law.
