To solve the problem, we will first provide an example of a force that is proportional to velocity and then prove that the terminal velocity of a solid object moving in a viscous medium is directly proportional to the square of its size and inversely proportional to the viscosity of the medium. ### Step 1: Example of a Force Proportional to Velocity An example of a force that is proportional to velocity is the viscous drag force experienced by an object moving through a fluid. According to Stokes' Law, the viscous force \( F \) acting on a spherical object of radius \( r \) moving with velocity \( v \) in a viscous medium is given by: \[ F = -6 \pi \eta r v \] where \( \eta \) is the viscosity of the fluid. Here, the force is proportional to the velocity \( v \). ...
