Falling Speed of Smaller Particle Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Falling Speed = Outer Height/Detention Time
v^' = H/T_d
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Falling Speed - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Falling Speed refers to the constant speed at which a particle falls through a fluid when the force of gravity is balanced by the drag force and buoyant force acting on the particle.
Outer Height - (Measured in Meter) - The Outer Height refers to the external vertical dimension of an object or structure.
Detention Time - (Measured in Second) - The Detention Time refers to the amount of time that a fluid (or any substance) spends within a particular component of a system.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Outer Height: 40 Meter --> 40 Meter No Conversion Required
Detention Time: 3 Minute --> 180 Second (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

v^' = H/T_d --> 40/180

Evaluating ... ...

v^' = 0.222222222222222

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.222222222222222 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.222222222222222 ≈ 0.222222 Meter per Second <-- Falling Speed

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
