George Gabriel Stokes, an Irish born mathematician, worked most of his professional life describing fluid properties. Perhaps his most significant accomplishment was the work describing the motion of a sphere in a viscous fluid. This work lead to the development of stokes law, a mathematical description of the force required to move a sphere through a quiescent, viscous fluid at specific velocity. This law will from the basis of this laboratory investigation.
A viscosity apparatus (Stokes method) typically consists of one meter long, 35mm diameter graduated glass tube mounted vertically in a metal stand, The lower sides of tube is closed, where as on the upper end, rubber cork with hole is provided.
