Calculate the drag force on a spherical particle moving slowly through a viscous fluid using Stokes' law. This calculator is essential for sedimentation, particle physics, and microfluidics.
Enter your values below
Dynamic viscosity of the fluid
Radius of the spherical particle
Velocity of the particle relative to the fluid
How this calculator works
The drag force equals 6π times dynamic viscosity times the radius of the sphere times its velocity.
