 | | The centrifugal force is independent of the velocity and proportional to the square of the angular velocity, and is in a plane normal to the axis of rotation. |
 | | Since the density of water is 1, its kinematic viscosity in stokes equals its viscosity in poise (but, of course, the units are different, and it is a different thing). |
 | | In this case, the force resisting the motion is F = 6πηaV dynes, where η is in poise, a in cm, and V in cm/s. |
