Hi, i just wondered if it is possible by calculation to determine how far in a viscous liquid it would take for an object (sphere, ball bearing) to reach terminal velocity. I have to design an experiment to investigate Stokes law. Could i use suvat equations as it is constant acceleration?

Thanks
 
Unfortunately it is not constant acceleration.

Here is an interesting lecture on drag that you might benefit from:
