Compute the settling velocity for the following particles: very coarse sand ( diameter = 1.5 mm ) , (diameter=1.5 mm), medium sand (0.4 mm), very fine sand (0.075 mm), and clay (0.001 mm). Estimate the time for each particle to fall 6 in. in water. Assume: SG: coarse sand = 2.65, medium sand = 2.67, fine sand = 2.70, clay = 2.8 & water temperature = 60°F Note:The other solution on chegg is wrong.

Calculate the terminal velocity in free fall of a bowling ball (mass of 7.2 kg, diameter of 21.6 cm) and a basketball (mass of 0.51 kg, diameter of 23.85 cm). The bowling ball can be considered a smooth sphere (Cd = 0.1), while the basketball can be considered a rough sphere (Cd = 0.4). What would be the terminal velocity of the basketball if we considered it a smooth sphere?
