In Millikan's oil drop experiment,what is the terminal speed of an uncharged drop of radius $2.0 \times 10^{-5} \; m$ and density $1.2 \times 10^{3} \; kg \; m^{-3}$? Take the viscosity of air at the temperature of the experiment to be $1.8 \times 10^{-5} \; Pa \; s$. How much is the viscous force on the drop at that speed? Neglect buoyancy of the drop due to air.
