This experiment aims to determine the viscosity of a fluid using a falling sphere viscometer. The viscometer works by measuring the terminal velocity of steel spheres falling through the fluid. Several trials are conducted to find the time taken for each sphere to travel 1 meter. This time is used to calculate the sphere's velocity. The diameter of each sphere and the surrounding medium are measured. Correction factors are applied to account for the finite medium size. The velocities, diameters, densities and other measured values are then inputted into Stokes' law to calculate the dynamic and kinematic viscosities of the fluid. Key findings include that viscosity increases with dynamic viscosity and the sphere's velocity increases with its diameter. Understanding viscosity is important for engineering
