(a) You pull a solid zinc ball with a density of 7.14 g/cm3 and a radius of 1.10 cm upward through a fluid at a constant speed of 7.00 cm/s. The fluid exerts a drag force that is directly proportional to speed, and the proportionality constant is 0.950 kg/s. What is the magnitude of the force (in N) you exert on the ball? (You may ignore the buoyant force.)
________N
(b)
What If? By what percentage would the upward force exerted on the zinc ball have to be increased for the speed of the ball in the fluid to increase to double its original value?
________%
