A student has a tall glass cylinder filled with a viscous liquid and several small steel spheres, as shown in the diagram.

A tall glass cylinder filled with a viscous liquid. Two horizontal lines, Line A and Line B, are marked across the tube, with Line A higher up than Line B. A small sphere is falling downwards through the liquid between the lines.

The temperature of the liquid can be adjusted.

The student investigates how the terminal velocity of a steel sphere between the two marked lines, Line A and Line B, depends on the temperature of the liquid.

Describe:

  • the additional equipment that the student needs
  • how this equipment is used to obtain the measurements needed.
