A spherical particle falling at a terminal speed in a liquid must have the gravitational force balanced by the drag force and the buoyant force. The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid, while the drag force is assumed to be given by Stokes Law, Fs = 6πrηv. Show that the terminal speed is given by v = (2R2 g/9η) . (ρs − ρ1) , where R is the radius of the sphere, ρs is its density, and ρ1 is the density of the fluid, and η the coefficient of viscosity.

Unfortunately, one person got infected by V. vulnificus after eating some oysters.
We want to estimate how much power a bacteria needs in order to move inside a
capillary.
The Reynolds number in a capillary is about 0.001, which means that blood's flow in
a capillary is well approximated by Stokes flow model. In the following questions,
assume that the bacteria is a sphere with an effective radius 0.55 μm (although
the shape of V. vulnificus is more like a comma) moving at a speed of 200.0 μm/s
relative to the blood flow. For simplicity, the dynamical viscosity, µ, is set to 0.030
kg/m/s3. Give the result consistent with the significant digits in the data. That is,
with two significant digits.
(a) Find the drag force that the bacteria experiences in the capillary.
(b) Find the power that the bacteria needs to produce in order to move at that speed
with respect to the blood flow. Hint: remember that power can be written as
P = Fv.
