Consider a small sphere falling through a medium. The viscous force acting on the sphere depends upon the radius (r) of the sphere, velocity (V) of the sphere and the co-efficient of viscosity (eta) of the medium. Use dimensional analysis and show that the viscous force is directly proportional to etarv . (Given : Dimensions of eta =[M^1L^-1T^-1]) .
