Question

An aluminum cylinder weighing 30 N, 6 cm in diameter and 40 cm long, is falling concentrically through a long vertical sleeve of diameter 6.04 cm. The clearance is filled

with SAE 50 oil at 20°C. Estimate the terminal (zero acceleration) fall velocity. Neglect air drag and assume a linear velocity distribution in the oil. Hint: You are given diameters, not radii.
