For Problem 1.6, find the distance the particles travel before reaching 99 percent of terminal speed. Plot the distance traveled as a function of time.
1.6 In a pollution control experiment, minute solid particles (typical mass 1 × 10−13 slug) are dropped in air. The terminal speed of the particles is measured to be 0.2 ft/s. The drag of these particles is given by FD = kV, where V is the instantaneous particle speed. Find the value of the constant k. Find the time required to reach 99 percent of terminal speed.
