FORMULA: d/Dm ; where d is the sphere diameter and Dm is the diameter of medium
(d/Dm)1 = 7.89 x 10-3 / 0.11434 = 0.06900

(d/Dm)2 = 7 x 10-3 / 0.11434 = 0.06122

(d/Dm)3 = 6.32 x 10-3 / 0.11434 = 0.05527

(d/Dm)4 = 4.74 x 10-3 / 0.11434 = 0.04146

FORMULA: K = 1 + 9d/ 4 Dm + (9d/4 Dm)2 ; where K is the correction constant

K1 = 1 + 9d/ 4 Dm + (9d/4 Dm)2 = 1 + [9(7.89 x 10-3) / 4 (0.06900)] + [9(7.89 x 10-3) / 4
(0.06900)] 2 = 1.32348

K2 = 1 + 9d/ 4 Dm + (9d/4 Dm)2 = 1 + [9(7 x 10-3) / 4 (0.06122)] + [9(7 x 10-3) / 4

(0.06122)] 2 = 1.32157

K3 = 1 + 9d/ 4 Dm + (9d/4 Dm)2 = 1 + [9(6.32 x 10-3) / 4 (0.05527)] + [9(6.32 x 10-3) / 4

(0.05527)] 2 = 1.33824
K4 = 1 + 9d/ 4 Dm + (9d/4 Dm)2 = 1 + [9(4.74 x 10-3) / 4 (0.04146)] + [9(4.74 x 10-3) / 4
(0.04146)] 2 = 1.32341

FORMULA: V = Vs K ; where V is the constant velocity and the Vs is the velocity of fall

V1 = Vs K = 0.2907 x 1.32348 = 0.38474

 
V2 = Vs K = 0.24096 x 1.32157 = 0.31845
 
V3 = Vs K = 0.22573 x 1.33824 = 0.30208
 
V4 = Vs K = 0.14287 x 1.32341 =  0.18908

FORMULA: 𝝻 = d2(⍴s - ⍴L) / 18VsK ; where; ⍴s = 8050kg/m^3, ⍴L = 1261.1kg/m^3

𝝻1 = [(7.89x10^-3)^2(8050 - 1261.3)] / [18(0.2907)(1.32348)] 9.81 = 0.59865

𝝻2 = [(7x10^-3)^2(8050 - 1261.3)] / [18(0.24096)(1.32157)]9.81 = 0.56930

𝝻3 = [(6.32x10^-3)^2(8050 - 1261.3)] / [18(0.22573)(1.33824)]9.81 = 0.48920

𝝻4 = [(4.74x10^-3)^2(8050 - 1261.3)] / [18(0.14287)(1.32341)]9.81 = 0.43965

FORMULA 𝑣 = 𝝻 / ⍴L ; where; ⍴L = 1261.3 kg/m^3

𝑣1 = 𝝻1 / ⍴L = 0.59865 / 1261.3 = 4.75x10^-4

𝑣2 = 𝝻2 / ⍴L = 0.56930 / 1261.3 = 4.51x10^-4

𝑣3 = 𝝻3 / ⍴L = 0.48920 / 1261.3 = 3.88x10^-4

𝑣4 = 𝝻4 / ⍴L = 0.43965 / 1261.3 =3.49x10^-4
