Determination of the diameter of a falling sphere

Input(s)

Re: Reynolds Number (dimensionless)

v: Velocity of Fluid (ft/s)(\mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s})

ρ\rho: Density of Fluid (g/cc)(\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cc})

μ\mu: Viscocity of Fluid (cP)(\mathrm{cP})

Output(s)

D: Diameter (ft)(\mathrm{ft})

Formula(s)

D=Reμρv\mathrm{D}=\frac{\operatorname{Re} * \mu}{\rho * \mathrm{v}}
