About This Product
A solid particle falling through a liquid is acted on by gravity and by drag from the liquid. The drag coefficient depends on the Reynolds number, and a modified Reynolds number is used for falling particles. Students let single steel and glass balls fall through liquids of different viscosity, observe them in the glass tubes, and plot the drag coefficient against the modified Reynolds number. The Drag Co-Efficient Apparatus can be supplied and exported to buyers in Mongolia, Nicaragua, Malawi, Niger, Uganda and Comoros.
