Calculate time of solid passing through a liquid with the given values

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around estimating the time it takes for a 6g marble with a density of 3.4 to travel 5.8cm through a liquid with a density of 1.345 in a 200ml container. Participants suggest using Stokes' law to calculate the time, indicating that the problem resembles a typical homework question. There is a lighthearted acknowledgment of the nature of the inquiry, with one participant admitting to a relaxed attitude when first encountering the question. The conversation emphasizes the need for a workaround due to lost data from the Marble Race experiment. Overall, the focus remains on finding a method to estimate the marble's travel time through the liquid.

Summary:: We conducted the Marble Race experiment but the data of the time was lost. So I'm wondering if there's a workaround to at least put a rough estimate on it.

How long it would take for the marble that weights 6g with a density of 3.4 to cover a distance of 5.8cm passing through a liquid with 1.345 density in a 200ml container?

Google Stokes law.
 
This sounds like a homework problem. Is it?

Definitely homework like, somehow I was in a soft mood when I saw it in the morning ;)

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
Thread 'How to find the pH of a galvanic cell (MIT OCW problem set)'
This is the final problem in this problem set from MIT OCW. Here is what I did to try to solve it The table cited in the problem is below We can easily spot the two redox couples that are in the electrochemical cell we are given. The hydrogen-based electrode has standard potential zero, and the silver-based electrode has standard potential 0.22. Thus, the hydrogen electrode, with the lower potential, is the reducing agent (ie, it is where oxidation happens) and is the anode. Electrons...
