What is falling sphere resistance method?

The falling ball viscometer typically measures the viscosity of Newtonian liquids and gases. The method applies Newton's law of motion under force balance on a falling sphere ball when it reaches a terminal velocity.

How Stoke's law is related here?

Stoke's law is the basis of the falling sphere viscometer, in which the fluid is stationary in a vertical glass tube. A sphere of known size and density is allowed to descend through the liquid.

How to Calculate Diameter of Sphere in Falling Sphere Resistance Method?
