  1. A steel ball (density ρsteel = 7200 kg/m3) is placed in an upward moving liquid Al (density ρAl = 2360 kg/m3, viscosity μAl = 1 * 10“3 Pa.s and Reynolds number = 5 * 105). The force (F) exerted on the steel ball is expressed as 
    F = f π R2(ρAl v2/2)
    where, f is friction factor (=0.2), v is the velocity of liquid Al and R is the radius of steel ball.
    The force exerted on the steel ball is
