Stokes Law: Drag Force In Viscous Fluids

Stokes Law, derived by George Gabriel Stokes, quantifies the drag force experienced by an object moving through a viscous fluid at low Reynolds numbers. It states that the drag force is proportional to the fluid viscosity, object size, and velocity. The law finds applications in particle characterization, blood flow modeling, and sediment analysis.
